May Day Fae Day Play Day

'Faeries, come take me out of this dull world, For I would ride with you upon the wind, Run on the top of the dishevelled tide, And dance upon the mountains like a flame.' ~Yeats, 'The Land of Heart's Desire,' 1894

El Dorado Park, Long Beach, CA

Join your fae friends for a craftea spring picnic replete with edible flowers, floral teas, sconettes, finger sandwiches, and of course, fairy cake.  As we dine we'll cobble fairy wings and hair wreaths.  We'll crown a Faerie Queene and dub a court jester, who will selflessly serve as the pole of our May pole. Fae doings include legends from the realm and a lesson in fae language.

For those not yet ready to go back to the world of men, we'll share a *no-host dinner in the garden at Shenandoah at the Arbor at 6pm.

$75 includes tea picnic, crafts, and frivolity
*no-host dinner at Shenandoah is extra and not included
