A community of fairies has taken up residence right here in Texas, and you can meet them at the Dogwood Trails Festival in Palestine. Until the end of May, these magical woodland creatures will be welcoming hikers into their world of whimsy. See for yourself:
The enchantment takes place all spring at Davey Dogwood Park.
You'll also get to experience the annual Dogwood Trails Festival, named after the trees whose breathtaking white flowers are in full bloom this time of year. With live music, historic building tours, and great food, it's a fun time all around.
A color-coated map provides easy-to-follow directions to all of the trails at Davey Dogwood Park.
Towards the bottom, you'll notice a small fairy marking the garden trail's entrance. Start there and embark on a magical journey, listening for the sound of microscopic wings flitting about. Click here for a printable version of the map.
With a school, village, visitor center, and over a dozen more intricately-carved buildings, it's safe to say the fairies are very well established here in Palestine.
Happily letting visitors into their world of whimsy, these tiny tour guides waste no time showing you around. Discover where the mystical creatures live, eat, sleep, work, and vacation.
You'll find the Fairy Garden Trail at 4205 N Link St, Palestine, TX 75803.
It's open through May 31 from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. The fairies won't return to our world for another year after that, so don't miss your chance to see them!
For more information, visit Palestine's official website or Facebook page.
