During this multi-day event, children are encouraged to come dressed in their best magical faerie attire as they imagine and play in a magical faerie wonderland. Families can enjoy games, crafts, a theatre show, live music and dancing, a bubble garden, and much more throughout our enchanted Oakhurst Gardens. Plus, concessions will be available to keep all of our hungry faeries happy, offering an array of delectable delights ranging from faerie-sized treats to savory snacks fit for even the most discerning woodland appetite.
The sensory-friendly event is designed to welcome our Faerie friends with sensory sensitivities to Oakhurst Gardens to experience the magic in a calmer environment. Join us for quiet music, an optional live theatre show, and character interactions, or stroll through the beautiful flowers and decorations.
Your tickets for Faeries, Sprites, & Lights are non-refundable. The event will happen rain or shine, but we will pause for lightning. In the event of severe weather, there will be a rain date on August 2, 2026, from Noon–5 p.m., Sensory-friendly from Noon–1 p.m. You are also welcome to change the date of your ticket by contacting us at 765.282.4848.
