Thank you North Bay!

Our hearts are so full of magic and gratitude! 🥹

Thank you so much to all attendees for joining us at the Enchanted Family Fun Fest 2026! You rock!🧚‍♀️🧙‍♂️🐲👑🎉🥳

Each and every one of you helped bring Enchantment to life in North Bay and we are so thankful that you made it out! ✨️

The outfits, costumes, connections and smiles were so incredible to see! 😍

Our hearts are bursting from the amazing community support and the fun times had by all!

From the music in Songbird Square to the Costume Parades 🐦… from the Bubble Wonders and the Flower Arrangement Contest 💐… with the Trinket Trade and of course the Magical Market 🛍… and every lovely activity in between 🎨, we are SO happy that everyone enjoyed themselves, played games, soaked up the sun ☀️... and made fantastical memories!

ALSO...

Some Fairies dropped us a little note today thanking everyone for the delightful little treasures in the Wishing Well! They wanted us to let you know that they heard the bell and know your wishes... 🧚‍♂️🪙🌰🥰

📸 We know some folks took some amazing pictures during the day!!! If you would like to share them with us we would truly LOVE to see them!

👇 Drop your photos in the comments!
Or DM if you prefer.

👀 And let us know if you'd like to attend again in 2027!

🧚‍♀️🧙‍♀️🧝‍♂️🧙‍♂️🧚‍♂️👑 TRINKET TRADE DETAILS:

​Some of our Merchants in the Magical Market will have trinkets at their booths for you to trade!

🌟 Bring a pouch/bag to the Enchanted Family Fun Fest, and start trading your small treasures!

🗝 NO food items allowed.
😍 Otherwise, bring your itty bitty trinkets, shiny delights, crystals or rocks, buttons, acorns... any fun tiny tokens!

Then, you take one and leave one behind whenever you see a trinket you'd like, for free.

💎 Pictured: A local deal from Antiques at Deegans – just $2 a scoop for the prettiest little trinkets!

Have no trinkets to start with, and can't make it to Deegan's? See Be Wild Studio (Shanan) or Transmute with Allie (Allie) to get some start-up goodies for free.

Let's spread joy as we explore and take pleasure in the little things! 🪄

Thank you! ❤️

😍🎉🪄 We couldn't have pulled everything together for the Enchanted Family Fun Fest 2026 without our sponsors, and we are so grateful!

Give them a follow; consider supporting their business, organization, and/or mission; and thank them if you see them around!

It really does takes a village, and our gratitude is endless. This is a brand new endeavour that these businesses believed in, encouraged, and with faith, contributed to.

Pure magic! ✨️

With whimsy and wonder,
THANK YOU 🌳💐🧚‍♀️🌈🙏
