Magic Moments
in Bumblewood
Magic Moments added a little extra sparkle to fairy village visits on Sunday afternoons and Wednesday evenings, with live music, Bumblewood Story Apron performances, a shadow screen, and photo opportunities on site around the village.
A rare chance to peek behind the magic veil and meet the (human) fairy architects! Makers of the fairy village homes and businesses were in the village to answer questions both about their process and their fairy friends who live and work in their structures.
Visitors will also had a chance to meet the heads of the Bumblewood Zoning & Permitting Committee. These human/fairy liaisons fielded questions about fairy village lore, stories, how one can become a fairy architect, and many other burning questions.
Spoiler Alert: Because this event includes very human details about how the fairy village is created, it is not best suited for those who believe in fairies and only fairies.
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.
