Wee Folk Fest

if you are interesting in bringing back the wee folk fest, please comment.

In 2015 I made the decision to step down from the leadership of the Wee Folk Fest because I felt this event deserved to grow and that would probably not happen under my leadership. Perhaps it was a mistake - i'm not sure but this year the Festival will not happen because of lack of sponsorship. There are many people who are willing to help with this festival but what we need is someone to take ownership. Because I believe in the merit of this free (non revenue producing) event I will continue my quest. Stay tuned . . . . . . . . . .

Because I am no longer able to be the person in charge of the Wee Folk Fest, this year for the first time in six years, the event will not take place - it's very sad for me to say this - having said that, if there are persons and/or organizations who would like to take up the leadership reins and make it happen again this year, i am certainly willing to help!

Mark your calendars now for the 4th Annual Wee Folk Fairy Fest - October 6th - noon to 4 pm -

Whatever your age, this is an event you do not want to miss!!! With a lineup of great entertainment, artsy vendors and frivolity of all sorts, this festival is unique to the area and sure to put a smile on your face!! Be sure to arrive in time for the Foot Parade led by a horsedrawn carriage carrying the Fairy Princess at 3 pm. The Wee Folk Fairy Fest invites visitors to tour the Mainstrasse area as a portal from the fairy realm; the concept of the Festival is based on the imaginative notion that for one day a year, Mainstrasse opens a portal from the Fairy World where Fairies and other magical beings come through to play with humans. Visitors are encouraged to indulge in Fancy dress and each year more and more creative apparel is visible at the Fest! The Parade is led by a nominated Queen of the Fairies, and both adults and children in costume walk around the promenade islands together, following the horse-drawn carriage that carries the Queen.
