Events on July 26, 2025

During this multi-day event, children are encouraged to come dressed in their best magical faerie attire as they imagine and play in an enchanted faerie wonderland. Families can enjoy games, crafts, a theatre show, live music and dancing, a bubble garden, and more throughout our enchanted Oakhurst Gardens. Plus, concessions will be available to keep all of our hungry faeries happy.

The Sensory-friendly event is designed to welcome our Faerie friends with sensory sensitives 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.
