Have you ever heard of First Fridays? It’s an art based festival in Putnam that takes place on the first Friday of every month from May through October. So, don’t freak out, you still have four more chances to attend this unforgettable event. While quite magical, that’s not the secret. This place inspires childlike wonder with their collection of fairy doors. Or maybe there really are fairies and they’re drawn in by the insane amount of fun and laughter that takes place here in the summers.

If you can manage to pull yourself away from all the shopping, music, food and more you can start your search for the doors. They'll even give you a sheet to help mark off the ones you've discovered.
