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.

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 Admission Tickets for just $15 (for adults) and $10 (for children 5+) if purchased before August 31st.​
