The Annual Fairy Festival

We welcome you to a very special weekend filled with activities, crafts, and snacks 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!

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. Don’t forget to dress up!

This is our first Fairy Festival at our new Downtown location and we’re excited to show it off!

The Fairy Festival takes place at 135 W. Cortland St. in Downtown Jackson.
Follow signs for event parking.

Two Different Event Days with Different Arrangements:

Premium Reservation Day: Saturday, April 30: We will have limited reservations for certain time slots, but all activities and snacks are included in the price of admission. This will help us keep crowd sizes comfortable and give those interested in the activities the best value. Even though time slots are reserved, all Fairy Festival activities can be enjoyed at your own pace. [Purchase Tickets]
Free to the Public Day: Sunday, May 1: We also will have this day open for free to the public. Like our traditional, 2019 and earlier Fairy Festivals, access to vendors and certain activities will be free. Items like arts and crafts, cupcakes and other treats and goodies can be purchased separately.

Times Available for Event:

General Public Hours for Both Days: 11AM to 3PM (Saturday, you must reserve a starting admission time with your ticket)
Special 10AM Saturday Time Slot for Families with Special Needs – On Saturday, we have a special hour at 10AM for our friends with special needs that will benefit from smaller crowds and less stimulation. They will have an hour dedicated to them before general public time opens. However, they can stay as long as they would like. Special scholarships are available for these special tickets as well. Please contact carolyn@jacksonarts.org for more details.

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."
