A fairy house on display during the 2025 Philly Fairy Festival at the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education. The event returns June 27 with fairy house building, a fantasy-themed trail and other outdoor activities.

Fairies, fairy houses and a little woodland magic will take over the grounds of the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education during the Philly Fairy Festival on Saturday, June 27.

The annual event runs from noon to 4 p.m. and combines outdoor fun, crafts and fantasy-themed activities inspired by the natural world.

Attendees can build fairy houses along the Fairytale Trail, where community-made creations will turn part of the woods into a fairy village. Other attractions include the Alchemists Guild, which will serve themed cocktails and mocktails, and the Court of Food, which will offer snacks and refreshments.

The festival will also feature "An Invitation to the Other World," a choose-your-own-adventure trail that takes attendees through the Schuylkill Center's grounds on a fairy-themed journey inspired by folklore.

The festival also encourages attendees to dress the part with fairy wings, wizard robes and other fantasy-inspired costumes.

Tickets are $20 when purchased online in advance and $25 at the door.
