Celebrate May Day at the Fairy Festival in Illinois' Pilcher Park Nature Center, and start the day off by enjoying Breakfast with Fairies.
The Festival opens at 9 and ends at 2. If you want to catch breakfast, make sure you arrive before 11. Breakfast plus admission costs $10, but if you plan to skip breakfast, you will only need $5 for entry.
"It's important to blend in with the trees," said Siobhan Peacy, park naturalist and festival director, of proper Fairy Festival attire. "I'm an acorn fairy, so, of course, I protect the oak tree."
Human visitors to the festival will make fairy crafts, learn about fairies, and go on fairy flower walks around the lovely park.
"They [also get to] make wings when they get here, so they are instant fairies," Peacey noted. "If you want to be a woodland fairy, [go with] browns and greens. Flower fairies are flower-colored."
"Fairy fest is really about believing and loving nature," Peacey concluded. "That's what it's really about."
