🧚 Once upon a time, a little girl named Elisabeth “Betty” Ball lived in the Oakhurst home. She discovered faeries living among the trees and flowers. Betty wore her faerie attire, played games, danced, and skipped through the grass with her magical friends. As a tribute to Betty and her unshakable belief in faeries, thousands of faeries fly into Oakhurst Gardens every July for the enchanted Faeries, Sprites, & Lights at Minnetrista.
✨ 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 wonderland. Families can enjoy games, crafts, a theatre show, live music and dancing, a bubble garden, and more throughout our magical Oakhurst Gardens. Plus, concessions will be available to keep all of our hungry faeries happy.
🌈 Sensory-friendly Faeries, Sprites, & Lights, presented by Interlock ECI, is designed to welcome guests with sensory sensitivities to experience the magic in a calmer environment. Enjoy quiet music, an optional live theatre show, gentle character interactions, or simply stroll through the beautifully decorated gardens.
