Fairy Fest at New England Botanic Garden

We’ve heard that rainy days are more magical! Join us for a weekend full of magic this autumn as our fairy friends transform the Garden into a realm filled with imagination, wonder, and enchantment. Explore the gardens while enjoying brews and local fare at our Beer Garden, browsing our fairyland market, and discovering hidden fairy houses along the way. This weekend features magical crafts, workshops, and entertainment for all ages. Spread your wings and come dressed up as your favorite magical being!
