A summer feature at Burns Park, as are visits by County and Town mobile units that feature concerts, shows and other entertainment. The parade is most known and visited on the peris. It is humorous and ridiculous show for the children as well for the adults as well. Each year was celebrated, but on different date of the month. The main inhabitants are ponderosa pines, Douglas firs, aspens, bunch grasses, countless wildflowers, deer, coyotes, and bear, and many fairies.
The Village conducts a series of events for children and adults. Bridge night, parades, an Independence Day weekend, Earth Day, fairs, Breakfast in the Park, and other observances all add to the very special quality of life in Massapequa Park. 160-acre site surrounded by National Forest. Facilities include a large, log-cabin lodge which is the fairy art gallery and a workshop area. The event includes workshops for both children and adults and there are demonstrations, square dancing, musical performances and games throughout the day, as well as tours of the Children’s Village garden.
The Lord & Taylor windows were dedicated to fairy tales, like Rumpelstiltskin, The Princess and the Pea, and Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Snow White was there, but not the Virgin Mary. There were a few decorated trees in some of the windows. The windows were artistically decorated, which celebrates the birth of, but children’s fairy tales or general concepts.
Human participants mostly wear ordinary comfortable clothing. But before the parade, most people don some special outfit for the parade. It has become a truly colorful and fabulous parade; and even more incredible for those who have the “fairy sight”. Sheri Trnka will again be bringing some of her giant flowers for this year’s parade. Shari will also set up and help coordinate a costuming center for people who wish to create a costume on the spot. You are invited to bring costuming materials to share with others.
