Faery Fest
What?
Once upon a time in a very near land, there was a host of faeries, pixies, hobgoblins, elven folk and all manner of fantastic creatures with no place to play. And then that all changed... On this midsummer's weekend, come to beautiful Riverside Park, located in Guelph Ontario Canada because you cannot miss the opportunity to sample the sparkling line up of entertainment, vendors, and activities planned! Faery Fest aims to bring you the best in local performing and visual arts all with a fantasy twist that will delight faeries and humans of all ages. Come help us celebrate the magic in you!
When? Saturday & Sunday, June 21 & 22 from 10am to 5pm
Where? Riverside Park (Woodlawn Rd. W. & Woolwich St.), Guelph
