Brookdale Lodge: Fae and Folk Faire

May 2 @ 4:00 pm9:00 pm PDT

A Faemily-Friendly Enchanted Festival & Night Market!

As twilight settles beneath the redwoods, lanterns glow, music drifts through the trees, and the hidden folk gather for an evening of magic and revelry. The Fae & Folk Faire blends the wonder of fairy lore with the lively spirit of a Renaissance-style festival. Families can:

  • wander artisan stalls,
  • listen to musicians and storytellers perform beneath the forest canopy,
  • create fairy gardens and play in clouds of color powder,
  • gather by the fire pit for s’mores and laughter
  • enjoy craft demonstrations,
  • eat hearty food,
  • see or wear whimsical costumes at the costume contest,
  • shop a lively night market,
  • stay for the Glow Parade, and
  • revel in the after Party Fae Ball. 8:30pm-1am
