Celebrate the connection between nature and the imagination at this event for adventurers of all ages! Enjoy performances, vendors, crafts, battles, a costume parade, and more. Tickets required.

Wesselman Woods invites you to step into Woodland Wonders, where the ancient forest stirs with stories of fairies, forest folk, and forgotten lore. Experience the magic that lives beneath the leaves—where moss can become a stage, mushrooms mark mysterious paths, and every overturned log is a gateway to wonder.

Rooted in the belief that a love of wonder and fantasy can grow into a love for the natural world, Woodland Wonders celebrates the deep connection between nature and the imagination. This enchanting event is designed for adventurers of all ages and draws inspiration from folklore, fairytales, and fantasy realms like Lord of the Rings, Redwall, Everdell, The Wind in the Willows, and Over the Garden Wall.

Costumes are encouraged. Imagination is required. Respect for the forest is essential!
