A festival that celebrates all things magical is coming to Old Petrie Town this month. 

Little ones will have the opportunity to see mermaids, fairies, unicorns, wizards and even dragons when they appear at the Fantasy Festival on Saturday, June 24.

Visitors can expect a fun day filled with stage shows, roving performers, workshops, face painting, festival braids, amusement rides, market stalls, a movie screening, as well as plenty of food and drink options.

There will be two sessions held on the day - a morning session from 9am-1pm, and an afternoon session from 4-8pm.

A movie will be shown during the afternoon session. Find out what movie has been selected and other fun things happening at the festival, via the Fantasy Festival Facebook page.
