Bumblewood Thicket will be back again soon for the 7th Annual Fairy Village! It will only be visible to human eyes September 10th through 27th, so mark your calendars now. Located amid the winding, wooded paths of Glen Lake Rotary Park on Bozeman's North Side, the village will contain new fairy homes and businesses created by talented local artists, aka Fairy Architects. Bumblewood Thicket is self-guided, free, and open to fairy fans of all ages. More information about the village is coming soon!
The Legend of
Bumblewood Thicket Fairy Village:
Nestled in the foothills of the Bridger Mountains, hugging the rambling curves of the East Gallatin River, and tucked into a brambly patch of forest at Glen Lake Rotary Park, Bumblewood Thicket is an enchanted (and enchanting) fairy village in Bozeman, Montana. It is invisible to human eyes almost all the time. Luckily, in the golden glow of late summer, the spells are lifted and the fairies make their tiny town visible to human eyes for just a few weeks. We may never know why the fairies lift the spell, but we do know that the annual Bumblewood Thicket experience is a gift to our community. Visitors leave the village feeling reconnected with the world of magic, filled with wonder and whimsy, and with a sprinkle of pixie dust to carry them through the year.
