About and FAQ


What is The New Faeriedom Festival? 

The New Faeriedom Festival is a first year fairy festival in New Freedom, PA running in conjunction with the New Freedom Farmers Market and the New Freedom Recreation Council, and by the staff of the Steampunk Farmers Market, to bring a bit of whimsical fairy magic to town for the day.

With Spoutwood ending the current incarnation of their long running Fairie Festival, we hope to keep a bit of that magical spirit alive in the area with a day of music, vendors, fun, fairy antics and more in a family friendly setting.

The idea for the festival was conjured up during the 2018 New Freedom Farmers Market season. In hearing that the nearby Spoutwood festival was retiring their event, those of us at the farmers market tossed the idea back and forth through the season, all the while trying to keep a close ear on Spoutwood and what their plants/next step for 2019 might be so that we could avoid stepping on any toes.

The 2019 New Faeriedom Festival officially went on the books in late August and we have been working hard to get the event off the ground in such a short time frame. We hope to see you there!
