Throughout the day, guests can enjoy a unique photo experience at Wildside Wine Bar featuring wolves from Wolf Run Wildlife Rescue. Hunt for hidden fairy doors along Main Street and in the Courtyard. Visit A Likely Story Bookstore for flash (permanent) tattoos. Discover mystical food and beverage offerings at local restaurants and Spotz, including “Tink’s Margarita” from Don Jockey. Browse enchanted storefronts and themed pop-up vendor booths lining Main Street.

Costumes are encouraged. Guests of all ages are invited to dress as fairies, dragons, wizards, woodland creatures, and other magical beings.

The Enchanted Courtyard will host a full afternoon of family-friendly activities from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, including fairy meet-and-greets, live ukulele music, magical dragon eggs, falcons on display by the Kentucky Falconry Association, a butterfly and insect presentation with entomologist Tirzah Overbee, and a butterfly release hosted by Blinque’s Butterfly Garden.
