Twilight Fairy Gala

Friday, April 24, 2020 – 6:00-8:30 PM

As the most special event of our Fairy Festival weekend, the Twilight Fairy Gala is a magical evening experience for the whole family. It often becomes a highly-anticipated family tradition!

We always plan the most incredible Twilight Fairy Gala you can imagine. The whole evening is magical and the end of the evening “surprise” is AMAZING! The Twilight Fairy Gala is a ticketed event that allows guests to visit the Fairy Kingdom ahead of the weekend crowds. We encourage families to dress in their “fairy best”!

The evening includes a light catered meal and dessert, dancing, a craft activity, a performance and more magic than you can imagine. This special event is a fundraiser in support of Jackson School of the Arts’ mission.

13th Annual Fairy Festival

Saturday, April 25 from 11-4 pm & Sunday, April 26, 12-4 pm

We welcome you to a very special weekend filled with activities, crafts, and vendors inspired by child-like imagination. Boys and girls always find the Festival full of wonderment and their grown-up companions can’t help but rediscover the child inside themselves as well!

The two-day weekend event is free and includes arts & crafts, vendors, Ye Ole Fairy Shoppe, the Cupcake Cafe, a Fairy Garden Contest, Tea with Miss Jackson Crossroads, carriage rides, dancing fairies and performances by the Fairy Festival Players.

Walk through the Fairy Kingdom, Mermaid Cove and explore the dark mountain. Meet a Fairy Princess and travel to Neverland with Captain Hook on his ship. Enjoy shopping for unique items with our amazing vendors from Michigan and Ohio. Plan to stay all day and have lunch in Fairy Landing. Don’t forget to dress up!

Le Cirque Esprit at The Potter Center

Testimonials

"My daughters have been attending Jackson School of the Arts for years. Both girls look forward to coming every week. They love it and the chance to express their creativity. I’m so grateful for the scholarships because otherwise my husband and I wouldn’t be able to provide dance and art classes which our girls excel in and look forward to each week."

"Thank you Jackson School of the Arts for your contribution to the community by providing dance classes for children. I am a mother of two dance students. We travel from Concord (25 minutes) despite the existence of a closer dance academy for financial reasons and because we prefer the culture at the Jackson School of the Arts."

"We have appreciated the high quality dance instructors, the professional attitude of instructors and support staff, and the family friendly atmosphere at the Jackson School of the Arts."

"This is my daughter’s second year and I could not be happier with the program. I looked into other programs before choosing JSA, but I knew there was no way I could afford their tuition. I am a single mom who goes to school full time. Because of the sliding fee scale, my daughter can participate."

"Their teachers are amazing. They are patient with the children and they are knowledgeable about what they are teaching."
