Wednesday Jun 9 2021

Our Woodland Fairies aren’t the only ones taking flight right now. The Gardner Village shops are in full fairy motion with fun make-and-take projects, special events, and fanciful fairy merchandise. From fairy parades and unicorns to train rides and crafts, let’s take a look at what’s in store for you through June 26, 2021.

WOODLAND FAIRY PARADES AT SPOILED ROTTEN

WHEN: Every Saturday at noon now through June 26, 2021.

 

Most of the fairies you’ll spot at The Village are tiny, but every now and then you’ll find one with extra ‘people’ magic who’s made herself into a human-sized fairy friend. These gorgeous sprites happily host a weekly parade with stops throughout The Village.

 

The fun begins outside of Spoiled Rotten Children’s Boutique, where the mood is set with music. This quaint shop hosts the parade each week.

With a parade put on by fairies, it’s best to expect the unexpected. You never know when a sweet bear bearing gifts might happen by from Chocolate Covered Wagon.

Come prepared to share your heart’s desire… secretly, of course. You’ll frolic across the Wishing Bridge, where you’ll learn how to pass your deepest wants onto the fairies who just LOVE making magic happen.

Of course, a human-sized fairy isn’t complete without her lovely unicorn. Our friends at The Farm just happen to have one in their care.

Of course, YOU are the real stars of this show. Come in your finest fairy fashion or get dolled up once you’ve arrived. Several of our shops carry fairy accessories, and you’ll find runway-ready fairy attire at Spoiled Rotten Children’s Boutique and The Crystal Fairy.

Seems safe to say this is so much more than just a casual stroll about The Village. At this parade, you’ll dance, you’ll sing, and, of course, you’ll take plenty of pics. No wonder this has quickly become a favorite annual spring/summer tradition for Utah families!
