Maine Fairy House Festival - Day 1 (8/17)
The Maine Fairy House Festival, Friday-Sunday, August 17-19, will be a weekend all about the fairies of the forest and the homes we can build for them. Award-winning fairy-book author Tracy Kane will be featured, along with professional storytellers, dancers, a fairy house & garden tour, workshops on building fairy houses and gardens — even wands and crowns. A fairy tea and fairy dance, fairy puppets, fairy gifts, and fairy this 'n' that will make for a delightful weekend of fun for the family and, no doubt, for the fairies. The Festival is from 1-4 p.m. each day. Free for members and with regular Gardens admission for non-members.
