19th Annual Fairy Festival

We welcome you to a very special day filled with imagination, adventure, and wonder at the 19th Annual Fairy Festival, a one-of-a-kind spring celebration designed especially for young children and the grown-ups who love them!

Families from near and far are invited to step into a whimsical world where fairies roam, pirates sail, mermaids sparkle, and creativity leads the way. Children are encouraged to dress up, explore, and play, while adults often find themselves rediscovering a bit of childhood magic along the way.

Saturday, April 18
10:00 AM to 5:00 PM*
Last entry tickets available at 2:45 PM to ensure all guests have time to enjoy the full experience.

Tickets: $23 per child (pre-order)| $5 per adult

Each person attending must have their own ticket.

Tickets will be available at the door for $30 per child and $5 per adult, pending availability.

Reserved entry times begin at 10:00 AM and run every 15 minutes until 2:45 PM. These timed entries help reduce wait times and keep crowd sizes comfortable. The full experience takes approximately one hour or longer, depending on your pace.

If any member of your party has sensory sensitivities, we recommend selecting an entry time of 1:00 PM or later, when the event is typically quieter.
