Description
The Portsmouth Fairy House Tour is the world’s largest fairy house tour and more than 250 fairy houses will be on display on the grounds of Prescott Park, the Governor John Langdon House and Strawbery Banke Museum. Tracy Kane, the Fairy Houses Series® author and illustrator will be on hand both days of the Tour to greet ticket holders and sign autographs. The event will also feature performances by the Southern New Hampshire Dance Theater and the NH Theatre Project. Inspired by local author Tracy Kane’s Fairy Houses Series®, and produced by Friends of the South End with the assistance of Canoe Harbor Consulting, the annual Fairy House Tour attracts 6,500-8,000 families and fairies each year. The proceeds of this long standing collaborative community event benefit Strawbery Banke, Prescott Park Arts Festival, Historic New England’s Governor John Langdon House, Prescott Park, and the Portsmouth Elementary Schools. Since the Fairy House Tour began, FOSE has reinvested more than $325,000 in these important South End organizations and in the Portsmouth community as a whole.
