The Visitor has been collecting the hopes, wishes, regrets, dreams, and messages of McMinnville citizens all week and now it’s time for its departure through ceremonial fire and music.

On Saturday 5/16 between 4-5pm, with music from DTW and fire, The Visitor will depart once again, carrying the collected messages skyward.

Some say the ritual brings luck.
Some say it helps people let go.
Some believe the messages truly make it out there.

All we know is that every year, after The Visitor disappears, the town feels just a little lighter.
