Put your wings and pointed ears on and come to Oatland Island Wildlife Center for a day of enchantment at our second annual Fairy and Gnome House Festival. This family-themed day is all about the “wee folk”, getting up close with the natural world and encouraging active, outdoor play. Children and their adults can enter a fairy house or gnome home building contest using all natural materials. Will your house be able to lure a Fairy from her wings? Would a gnome dare to tread past your threshold? Designs will be evaluated by a panel of judges and winners will be awarded fabulous prizes. Dress in your best fairy and gnome attire and enter our prize winning costume contest.

Additional activities include a Scavenger Hunt, prize-winning games and Fairy themed crafts. Bring your favorite stuffed animal and let us transform it into a flying fairy. Visit our Hair Fairies and have your hair made into a fanciful fairy hairdo. Be sure to bring your whole family to stroll along Oatland’s enchanted trails and see if you can catch a glimpse of any fairy or gnome looking for a place to call home!

Entrance fee Adults $6. Children $5. Some activities and concessions for additional fees. For further information, please call Oatland Island at 912-395-1500.
