The Enchanted Forest of Fergus | Festive Forest

About this event

Experience an enchanting evening unlike any other! Walk through a forest of twinkling lights and unique handmade illuminated art.

You asked, we listened! We're back and we're getting ready to shimmer and shine at the second Enchanted Forest affair - Festive Forest edition!

Walk through a twinkling woodland wonderland! Grab a hot beverage, meet with Magic Santa, and be entertained by strolling artists, a vendor market, art, and enjoy time around a fire....in a real forest!

Meet woodland characters beneath the trees, listen to carollers, and enjoy giant illuminated life-size local art as the forest comes alive for the holidays! Guests can also enjoy a vendor market for holiday and Christmas collections. Warm beverages and snacks will be available for purchase. We will have fire pits at the event, and guests are welcome to bring their own lawn chairs to enjoy time around a warm fire.

As always, dress as a fairytale suggests! We welcome all magical Forest fairies, woodland characters, princesses or wizards, Wiccans and witches. Dress enchanting, but do dress warmly!
