-POSTPONED-

For the health and safety of the community, the Fairy Fest has been postponed.  We will reschedule it for the late spring or summer.  Keep watching for updates, and keep the fairy magic alive.

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.
