By Katy Maggart—

MUNCIE, IN— The faeries are back and better than ever. Faeries, Sprites, & Lights at Minnetrista will be held July 28 through 30 from 5 to 9 p.m., with a special sensory-friendly event on July 31 from noon to 4 p.m.

During this multi-day event, children are encouraged to come dressed in their best magical faerie attire as they imagine and play in a faerie wonderland. Families can enjoy games, crafts, a theater show, live music and dancing, a bubble garden, and much more throughout Minnetrista’s enchanted Oakhurst Gardens. Kids and families are also encouraged to interact with live characters, participate in the Faerie House Workshop, and enjoy tea and hors d’oeuvres at Faerie Tea.

Minnetrista will kick off Faeries, Sprites, & Lights events on July 23 at the Faerie House Workshop. Participants will create a magical faerie home using an array of bright colors, patterns, and textures. Experience a tea party — faerie style on July 30. Enjoy teatime, hors d’oeuvres, and fun activities with fellow faeries at Faerie Tea Party.

Minnetrista has added an extra day for a sensory-friendly event on July 31 from noon to 4 p.m. The sensory-friendly event is designed to welcome faerie friends with sensory sensitives or disabilities to the Oakhurst Gardens to experience the magic in a calmer and welcoming environment. Guests can enjoy quiet music, an optional live theatre show, and character interactions, or take a stroll through the beautiful flowers and decorations. This event is sponsored by Interlock.
