Fairy Frolic at Walnut Beach

Fri Jun 20, 2025
6:00pm to 9:00pm ET
Age: All Ages
Price: FREE
Join the Giggling Pig for an evening of family fun. Legend has it that more than 50 Fairies call Walnut Beach Home! It's a magical place where they feel safe. The summer solstice is the night when they allow you to see where they live...but only if you believe.
Wee ones and adults alike are encouraged to dress in your finest fairly attire and wings and search for fairy doors and abodes. Bring bells to let fairies know you are near, and it is said if you leave a small found item (they love tiny shells, rocks and flowers) at their doors, the fairy will grant you a sweet dream! Enjoy vendors, face painting, hula-hooping, children's activities, character appearances and more!
