Have you ever seen magic left over from a rainstorm? Have you ever walked in a forest and thought you saw something little and enchanting out of the corner of your eye? Do you believe in Faeries? As children we believed in magic and knew in our hearts there was something enchanting out there, hidden, kind, beautiful, and filled with goodness. Do you remember these feelings? This yearning? If so, you too may have glimpsed Fairyland.

A Faery Hunt, the Nickelodeon winner for “Best Children’s Theater in Los Angeles” will be creating Fairyland right here at the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden on Saturday April 18, 2015. From 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. you can enjoy lovely fairies with singing, dancing, a treasure hunt, and storytelling, along with enchanting guided tours through the magnificent Celebration Garden.

The fairies will weave the magic of the stories of Fairyland, as the children are reminded to protect the earth and keep it safe. “Here are my friends the water fairies”, says Fairy Sedona as she points out the Watering Wall in the Celebration Garden. “The water fairies remind us that we are in a draught right now, so we need to use our water carefully and not be wasteful.” Sedona then has a dialogue with the children about protecting the environment and asks them what they can do. The children and their families then take the fairy pledge to protect the earth and keep it safe.

Children are encouraged to come in their favorite fairy, princess or super hero costume! Maybe some of the parents would like to join in on the fun and come in costume too.

Reservations are suggested at 626-821-4623. Walk-ups are welcome.

Saturday, April 18th, 2015. 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
