This year, we're diving deep into folklore and legend, bringing to life the eerie, fascinating creatures said to lurk in the cornfields and rural landscapes of the Midwest. From the shadowy figure of Mothman to the mysterious Beast of Bray Road, these cryptids have captivated imaginations for generations.

As we gather in our temporary city, we invite you to channel these legends into your art, performances, and camp designs. Let the whispers of the unknown fuel your creativity and turn the fields of imagination into something extraordinary.

In true HearthsOPhyre spirit—rooted in radical self-expression and collective magic—let’s explore the mysteries that lie just beyond the stalks, celebrate the stories that keep us wondering, and maybe even add a few of our own.

Get ready to step into the unknown - HearthsOPhyre 2025: Cryptids of the Corn awaits.
