Fairy Day
24th June

Fairy Day is an annual holiday where those souls who love all things fairy can celebrate our interest in this mythical and magical genre. It is also a time to celebrate nature and our environment, and just shamelessly BE a fairy!

June 24th, close to the northern hemispheres Midsummers Eve, is a magical time of year long celebrated for its link to the fairy world. A group of fellow fairy artists have created a web site filled with ideas for both young and old, free Fairy Day graphics and e-cards, and magical tales of fairies throughout the world.

Mark your calendars and look for local events in your area! Click the graphic below to visit the official Fairy Day web site!

Some Ideas for Celebrating the Magic on Fairy Day!

• Have a banquet lunch outdoors with friends and family in a beautiful natural setting!
• Plant some fairy favourites in your garden- St Johns wort, Blue Bells,Clover and Foxglove are all loved by fairies!
• Light a small bonfire, or candle at night (remember fire safety first!)
• Stay out late on Midsummers Eve! Look for Will-o-wisps, Midsummers is the best time to see them. Be careful not to chase them though, they are not always friendly.
• Pick a bouquet of 9 flowers and put it under your pillow at night to dream of love and magic.
• Look for fairy rings and oak trees.
• Create a candle boat! Build a small paper boat and fill it with flowers, then light a small candle in it and set it adrift (again, remember fire safety first!).
• Make yourself a daisy chain necklace!
• Dress in all your fairy finery and sprinkle fairy dust where ever you go!
