One of my favorite things ever is when the big kids want to play mermaids too. Everyone deserves the opportunity to have some fun 🫶🏻

✨ The veil may have closed for the year, but the magic still lingers... ✨

From the bottom of our enchanted hearts, thank you to every patron, volunteer, vendor, and performer who helped make this year's festival such an unforgettable success. Your passion, creativity, and support brought our magical world to life, and we couldn't have done it without you.

A special thank you to Tandy Leather for helping bring our Faerie Quest to life by providing the materials that made this enchanted adventure possible. Your generosity helped countless fae and adventurers embark on a magical journey through the forest, with a special token to remember it. 🍃🧚

Our fae are taking a well-earned rest to restore their magic, but don't wander too far—more photos, videos, and cherished memories will be shared soon.

Until then, tell us your favorite memory from this year's festival in the comments! Whether it was a magical encounter, a treasured find from a vendor, your favorite performance, or a memorable moment on the Faerie Quest, we'd love to relive the magic with you. ✨💚

A very important voicemail for Lady Lydia: the faeries are approaching—and they may already be outside her door. 🧚📹

Will the Ring camera catch them, or are they invisible? We’re not sure. But we do know where they’ll be gathering this Saturday… ✨
