BUSKERS
GOLDEN STATUE 
Step softly… for you may catch a glimpse of the Golden Faerie, a living statue who shimmers with sunlight and midsummer magic.
Draped in layers of gold and crowned with nature’s treasures, she remains still as stone—until she chooses to move. With a graceful gesture, she sprinkles fairy dust upon those who seek a little extra magic in their day.
Come close if you wish to receive a blessing of sparkle and wonder…
But remember, she speaks only in silence and stardust.
Heads Up—The Stilt Walkers Have Arrived!
Keep your eyes to the sky—the tallest guests at the festival are on the move!
Graceful, towering, and dressed to delight, our stilt walkers roam the grounds spreading smiles, high-fives, and a touch of whimsy wherever they go.
Catch them striding through the trees, striking a pose for photos, or dancing with faeries at eye level with the treetops.
Whether you’re little or tall, don’t miss a chance to wave, say hello, and feel the festival magic rise to new heights!
PIRATE HANK
Ahoy, young adventurers!
The one and only Pirate Hank is sailing back into port for this year’s Summer Solstice Festival—bringing his handcrafted pirate ship (complete with cannons and secrets) and a treasure chest of stories, shenanigans, and surprises.
Climb aboard his floating fortress and let your imagination set sail—because where Pirate Hank goes, adventure always follows.
Cue the sea shanties and fairy dust, matey!
MERMAIDS
Deep in the heart of the enchanted meadow, where the sunlight dances through the trees and fountains sparkle like crystal spells… the Mermaids of the Solstice have returned!
These shimmering sea sisters have surfaced from their underwater realm to bask in the joy of the festival and share stories from the deep. Visit their mystical fountain lair to:
- Make a wish in the water
- Pose for magical photos
- Hear tales of ocean treasures and moonlit tides
Whether you’re a fae, a pirate, or just passing through—come sit by the fountain and say hello.
Feel the Rhythm of the Solstice!
Join us for one of the most beloved traditions of the Summer Solstice Festival—the Drum Circle in Serenity Garden!
From 6–7 PM, gather around the wind chimes as returning rhythm keeper Sandy Blocker leads us in a celebration of connection, movement, and the heartbeat of the earth.
🔥 Bring your own drum, shaker, or rhythm-maker
💃 Don’t have an instrument? Just dance, sway, and soak in the good vibes
The beat is open to everyone, and the energy is pure Solstice magic!
