The FXBG Fall Fairy and Dragon Festival
Steeped in magic and folklore, the FXBG Fall Fairy and Dragon Festival (formerly known as the Fredericksburg Fall Fairy Festival) is a whimsical celebration of imagination held at the scenic
Mattaponi Winery
. After a two-year hiatus, this beloved community event returns on September 26, 2026, bigger and more enchanting than ever. The festival transforms the rolling Virginia countryside into a mystical realm where fairies flutter, dragons roam, and families gather for a day of wonder.
Why You Should Join the Magic
Whether you are a lifelong fan of fantasy or just looking for a unique family outing, here is why this festival is a "must-attend" event:
A Truly Immersive Experience: This isn't just a fair; it’s a world-building event. Attendees are encouraged to come in costume, blending in with the professional entertainers, musicians, and "magical creatures" that wander the grounds.
Unicorn Rides & Farm Friends: Experience the magic firsthand with unicorn rides (ponies/horses in costume) and visit with the festival's resident chickens. It’s a wonderful way for children to interact with animals in a fairytale setting.
Dragon Fun & Enchanted Activities: The festival features a dedicated
Dragon Fun
area with activities specifically designed to spark the imagination of children and adults alike.
Support Local Artisans: The
Festival Vendors
row is filled with unique, handcrafted treasures—from fairy wings and dragon eggs to mystical jewelry—that you won't find in any standard store.
Wholesome Family Memories: With a heavy focus on safety and a child-friendly atmosphere, it is the perfect environment for parents to let their children explore and play in a safe, supervised way.
Great Value with Early Bird Pricing: By planning ahead, you can snag
