New York Faerie Festival — Local services in Town of Colesville

What a magical weekend! Everyone at the festival was so kind and so invested in making sure we had a good time! The performers are so talented and really make the whole land feel magical.

Mind the weather, but don’t let rain frighten you out of going! It rained a lot on Saturday but we got to see a lot of muddy fun - from beautiful mud art sculpted onto trees to a goblin rowing their way through the mud in a trash bin. Dressing up is definitely encouraged, but again mind your footwear! I wore waterproof hiking shoes and had dry, comfy feet in spite of the rain.

Definitely recommend camping if you can! And getting up to the faerie village area if you need a little respite in the shade. I felt it was the best place to admire the beautiful land the festival takes place on.

The vendors were exceptional as well- there were all kinds of handmade goods like jewelry, decor, clothing, and accessories in a big enough price range for anyone to enjoy. Chatting with the vendors about their creations was a highlight of my trip.

I’ll definitely...

Good for a one and done or once every few year’s experience. Lots of great vendors with unique items though many seemed to be indifferent to the people as they entered- I walked into every one of them but was mostly ignored- that’s not great for sales. Limited food options with typical “fair” prices. Maybe invite a few more and spread them throughout the event grounds. Plenty of parking and restroom facilities. Could be a little more accessible for those with wheelchairs or on crutches. Way-finding signage and addition seating would be a plus. It was very difficult to really know where you were on the grounds. Some of the booths/displays/areas weren’t clear on what they were doing. Was there a Faery Queen pavilion? I wasnt sure. Performers were so-so as I can’t really say any truly entertained me but art is subjective after all. The parade was cute. The site was an absolute mud bog after rains the previous day which made walking treacherous. I can’t see myself going back...

The Fairy Festival is one of the best places to rediscover your inner child. They are also really good with actual children too. There is magic, there is joy, there are stories and adventures.

The cast, staff and volunteers are all amazing at what they do, and willing to take extra time and care to ensure everyone has a wonderful day. When we first started going my autistic child was nonverbal, this did not stop the cast from playing with him where he was at. This year he was verble and the bridge trolls remembered him and he had...
