Long Island Fairy Festival

Join us to celebrate nature, the power of creation, and the magic of imagination with an all-day festival from 10 am – 4 pm on Saturday, May 6th, 2023. (Rain date May 7th.) As a nature preserve with four major ecosystems – forest, pond, meadow and beach – the Sands Point Preserve is perfectly situated for a celebration that combines a passion for the natural environment with a sprinkling of fairy magic! At the heart of the Fairy Festival is the community’s participation in the building of the enchanted dwellings that will invite fairies and other woodland creatures to visit the Preserve for the festival. Modeled after the world-famous Fairy House Tour in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, we’re planning a multi-faceted festival of fairies, food, and family fun. You can participate in one or more ways: 1. Build a Fairy House! 2. Enter a piece of artwork for possible inclusion in the curated Fairy Art Exhibit. 3. Submit an application to participate in the Fairy House Artist Invitational competition. 4. Attend the Fairy Festival on May 6th. A day of all things fairy for the whole family.
