Celebrate the first anniversary of the Prairie Castle at Daniel Stowe Conservancy with a weekend of medieval-themed fun during Castle Faire. Families are invited to don their favorite Renaissance attire and enjoy two days of imagination, exploration, and hands-on activities throughout the gardens.

Young adventurers can create their own Adventure Trail map, decorate a royal paper crown, and gather for enchanting story times in the Lost Hollow Amphitheater. Interactive performances from Gravity Check Juggling bring the festivities to life, while food trucks, sweet treats, and garden bars provide refreshments throughout the day.

Children can also purchase a mini trebuchet craft kit from the Prairie Canteen to launch seed bombs into the Piedmont Prairie or take home to grow native wildflowers.

Whether you’re exploring the Prairie Castle for the first time or returning for another adventure, Castle Faire offers a memorable weekend of creativity, storytelling, and family fun in Belmont.

Additional Information:

  • Complimentary crafts and activities available while supplies last.
