Travel

We'll meet at the information center (check out the map) at around noon and go from there!

Attire

Don your most delightful thumbelina, mushroom core, and yearnable looks to twirl the day away. Make sure you dress for the humid July heat. Consider bringing along a watter bottle, sun shade or sporting a hat, and comfortable shoes!

Activities

Bristol will have many cottage-core inspired events to explore: 

All Day – Cozy Crawl: Pick up the ‘Cozy Crawl’ map at the Guest Services Gazebo detailing all the stops you’ll want to make on your memorable journey throughout the village.

10:15 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. – Cottagecore Maypole Dance: Welcome the summer in style! Dance experience is not required. Laughter and good vibes are guaranteed. Join us at Maypole Commons at one or both of these scheduled times.

All Day – Find the Fantastikals: The Fantastikals bring magic, wonder, and surprise to our village. Frequently found in Shakespeare’s Meadow or flitting throughout the Faire, find our enchanted Fantastikals for wholesome fairy fun.

NEW! Toadstool Time: Calling all friends of toadstools! Engage with our cousins in the streets of Bristol who will seek you out and tell you where and when you can find our secret toadstool meetup.

6:20 p.m. – Fairy Frolic Drum Jam: Dance, spin, and frolic your cares away! We’ll close out your magical day between the Fountainside Music Stage and the Lord Mayor’s Forum. Our talented musicians will set your spirits soaring. Come, dance with us!
