Something Fairy This Way Comes: The Shepherdstown Fairy Festival 2024

Something Fairy This Way Comes right into Downtown Shepherdstown this October!

Once upon a time in Appalachia, there was a very special Traveling Show. It was made up of the strangest folk anyone ever saw. Straight out of storybooks they were, with pointed ears and gossamer wings, furry faces and tails that twitched, men with goat legs, even a mermaid. When they came to town, they brought the magic of Faerie with them: wishes could come true, animals could talk, the imaginary became real. The Story continues this October . . .

Only 90 minutes outside of Baltimore and DC, The Shepherdstown Fairy Festival is an immersive energetic experience of fairies, fairy tales, and folklore for people of all ages where you can hear live music, watch movies, hear stories, and interact with all variety of Fae creatures.
