-POSTPONED-

For the health and safety of the community, the Fairy Fest has been postponed.  We will reschedule it when it is safe to do so.

Will you be a flower fairy, a woodland sprite or a mischievous elf?

Are you ready for some springtime magic?  Dress in your fairy finery and come to Downtown Ithaca for a day of crafts and activities at all your favorite stores.  All ages are welcome, but most activities will be geared toward children ages 3-10.  Most activities are free, some may have a small fee.
