Join us at the Winter Faerie Ball where we will fill Manor Mill with Faeries from around the area. The event will feature a costume contest, dance lessons (jigs, polkas and waltzes) and dancing!
The OCEAN Celtic Quartet will bring you dance music from England, Ireland, and Scotland, with a detour through the realms of Faerie! First, mix and mingle to OCEAN’s magical, all-instrumental set featuring faerie bells, guitar, and Celtic harp. Then put on your dancing shoes and groove to jigs and reels, uptempo songs, and even a waltz or two.
The Brinjal Faerie Band will bring you dance music from the Middle East, with improvisational solos straight outta Fairyland, and dance performances from the Aubergine Faeries! Brinjal plays each year at the May Day Fairie Festival, Enchanted Fairy Festival, the Fairy Scary Ball, and you can hear them again at MythiCon in February.
We will also have several curated vendors to share their artistic talent and for you to do some early holiday shopping for faerie love.
Light fare and refreshments included.
A professional photographer will be on site!
Adults only.
Wine tasting provided by Royal Rabbit Vineyards.
Brinjal will bring their world music to ready you for dancing!
