Hudson Valley Faerie Festival

A spring, family-oriented festival held at Forsyth Park in Kingston, produced by the Hudson Valley nonprofit Circle Creative Collective with local artists, musicians and volunteers. The day unfolds as a single afternoon-long story: guests collect a map at the Welcome Tent, make natural wands and faerie crowns under the pavilion, and attend a faerie-served tea party with color-changing tea and sweets before the Faerie Queen and her Court are called in. Wandering attractions include the Troll King, bubble and flower faeries, a treasure hunt among faerie houses, storytellers, roaming musicians and food vendors, closing with the March of the Faeries.
