Fae Fest

Join Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center for this celebration, which marks twenty years of connecting people to nature. This admission-free, day-long birthday party with a Fae Festival theme offers whimsical and fun activities, where kids and adults can learn how to enhance their greenery and gardens to make them more inviting to wildlife (which also makes them more Fae-friendly). Come for the faeries, stay for the face-painting, crafts, games, hands-on activity stops along the trail, and even dragon-petting. And, of course, birthday cake while it lasts. Fairies, sprites, gnomes, and elves of all ages are welcome; costumes are encouraged. 9 am‒5 pm at Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center, 10503 North Oak Hills Parkway. brec.org/swamp or (225) 757-8905.
