Fairyland is proud to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage this May!

We’re excited to affirm and uplift an eclectic array of traditions from the Asian and Pacific Islander diaspora, ranging from traditional folklore and dance to contemporary storytelling. We invite you and your family to experience a variety of ways children in Asia and Pacific Island Nations learn through games and crafts. We welcome you to enjoy lively performances and immerse yourself in the music, rhythm, language, and storytelling within the vibrant cultures of AAPI communities.
