On Thursday, June 26, the City Room transformed into a magical world for all ages during The Annual Manchester Fairy Festival! With sponsorship from Worth Repeating, The Manchester District Library hosted The Annual Manchester Fairy Festival with fairy crafts including fairy wands and bracelets, a fairy garden make & take with ferns donated by Debbie Kelly, fairy stories and fairy games with Miss Abby Lebovitz, children’s librarian at Manchester District Library, a fairy dance with Miss Laura Blair from Dance with Heart Studios, a fairy raffle with a giant stuffed animal donated by the Manchester Lions Club, and so much more! There were about 40 children and 30 adults who participated in The Annual Manchester Fairy Festival of 2025.
