PEEKSKILL, N.Y. -- Peekskill EMBARK will host its Second Annual Midsummer Nights Firefly & Fairy Festival Saturday from 5 to 9 p.m. in Depew Park, and organizers are asking participants to email a reservation with the number of adults and children before the event.
Children are encouraged to don their favorite fairy or insect costume as they make wands and paper crowns and other crafts at a table sponsored by Orange Splot Art Spot. There will also be a woodland obstacle course and a fairy roundel dance. Food and drinks can be enjoyed while harpist Elizabeth Ojeda fills the air with lilting melodies. Reservations should be sent to embarkpeekskill@gmail.com.
Garrie Pest Control is the main sponsor for the event and additional support has been provided by the Hudson Valley Gateway Chamber of Commerce and Peekskill Parks and Recreation.
The event is free to the public but there is a suggested donation of $5 per person. For more information, visit the EMBARK website.
