Nestled in the rural New York State in Ouaquaga, east of Binghamton, the New York Faerie Festival transports you to another realm. For three days in late June, the wooded hollows, stretching from the Finger Lakes to the Catskill mountains, become infused with ethereal charm. Immerse yourself in a flamboyant circus, with stilt walkers, silk dancers, tumblers, jugglers, magicians, wandering minstrels, puppeteers, actors, and storytellers. Meet Faerie Queen, trolls, and dozens of other fabulous characters.
The program of events at the NY Faerie Festival highlights four stages of enchanting music and a bustling market, overflowing with exquisite craftsmanship. Swordplays and jousting tournaments go without saying. And so do wholesome treats fit for the period. Save some time to wander the paths of the Wattlestone Garden and discover the Labyrinth, full of medieval secrets.
NY Faerie Festival has been running since 2009. It's famous as a nature-loving and earth-friendly getaway for the whole family. So, please obey the rules, which urge the visitors to set a good example for kids by abstaining from alcohol at the fairgrounds and smoking at specially designated sites out of view.
