Palmetto Islands County Park hosting popular Fairy House Festival in January

Charleston County Parks is bringing the Fairy House Festival back to Mount Pleasant Palmetto Islands County Park in January. Called “the greatest, tiniest building project ever,” the Fairy House Festival will be held on Saturday, January 21st from 10 am to 2 pm. Advance registration is required and space is limited.

“Fairy houses” are made from non-living, natural items such as twigs and leaves, and the “fairies” and “gnomes” of Palmetto Islands County Park need help to build new abodes this winter.

This year’s festival celebrates fairies, gnomes, nature discovery, creative expression, and family fun. Highlights include the chance to build a fairy house, story time with the Charleston County Public Library, and a kids’ nature craft. Live music will be provided by the V-Tones. Food truck fare from Biscuit Shed and Wicked Waffles will be available for purchase on site.

Face painting will also be available for an additional fee. Tinkerbell will be on site for photo opportunities, and children are invited to come dressed as a fairy or gnome.

Advance registration is required and will be limited. On-site registration will not be available. All family members must register in order to attend the festival and a chaperone is required to remain on site with children. Registration is $7 per person and is available here; registration includes park admission fee. Food and face painting will be an additional cost.

Should the event be canceled due to inclement weather, it will be rescheduled for the following Saturday, January 28th.
