Vermont Fairy Tale Festival

09/21/2026

✨ The dragons have gone home. The fairies are resting. The witches have put away their cauldrons. And we have ALMOST recovered. ✨

Now it’s time for one of the most important parts of the Vermont Fairy Tale Festival: hearing from you!

We did have 5 food trucks confirm they would be here on Saturday. Only two showed up: The Jamaican Food Truck and the Sundae Sisters. We were so disappointed that you didn't have a bigger variety of options. We promise to do better next year!

Besides the food, we’d love to know what worked, what didn’t, and what you’d love to see next year.

🏰 What was your favorite part of the Festival?
🐉 What should we absolutely keep?
🧚 What could we do better?
🍄 Was there something that was confusing, crowded, hard to find, or just didn’t quite work?
✨ And what would make you say, “You HAVE to do this next year!”?

We really do want to hear the good, the bad, and the “well…that seemed like a good idea at the time.” 😂

The Vermont Fairy Tale Festival has grown because people keep showing up, participating, volunteering, creating, and sharing their ideas. Your feedback helps us figure out where the magic worked and where the wand needs another wave.

Drop your thoughts in the comments, send us a message, or stop by the library and tell us in person.

So, Festival friends…what worked? What didn’t? And what should we dream up for next year? 🏰✨

HUGE THANKS to everyone who volunteered, helped, came, played, etc. to the 2026 Vermont Fairy Tale Festival. We are all exhausted, but were blessed with an amazing day. We saw almost 1600 people! To the vendors and libraries, bless your hearts and all your other vital organs! You made all the magic. To Lynn and Heather and crew, the Enchanted Forest was beyond enchanting! (it will remain up for a few weeks for anyone who wants to stop in). I promise pictures and stories once we fairies have recovered from the big day. Share pictures if you can, and I'll be posting what we have next week. Save the date: Saturday, September 18, 2027, for our 10th anniversary!!!!!!!

The Kingdom Quest Begins! 🧚‍♀️✨ Friday, August 14th
Something magical is afoot in Killington… and it’s hiding in local businesses!
Join us for the Killington Kingdom Quest, a whimsical scavenger hunt that will send you exploring the Kingdom of Killington in search of fairy-tale treasures, curious characters, and a few surprises along the way. 👑🐉🗝️
Participating businesses have been transformed into tiny pieces of a fairy-tale adventure, each with a special prop, creature, or enchanted object waiting to be discovered.
Your quest is simple:
🧭 Visit the participating businesses
🔎 Find the fairy-tale item hiding within
📸 Take a photo and/or record it on your Quest Card
🏰 Complete your quest and become part of the story!
And the best part? There is no cost to participate. Just bring your sense of adventure, your sharpest eyes, and perhaps a little fairy dust in your pocket.
Whether you’re 5 or 95, every kingdom needs a good quest. So, pick up a Quest Card at a local business or at the library, grab the family, gather your fellow adventurers, and start exploring!
The Kingdom is waiting. The clues are hidden. The adventure is yours. 🧚‍♂️✨
Turn in your Quest Card to the Library before September 14 and qualify for a chance to win a prize valued at over $500!

The Festival is ready to compete at the Annual Killington Chili Cook-Off. Pork based chili. And yes, I'm a terrible influence.
