About International Fairy Day

When is International Fairy Day? This holiday is always celebrated on June 24

We invite you to enter the enchanted world of fairies, elves, and gnomes. Today is International Fairy Day, a June 24 holiday. It is also called International Faery Day. Today we celebrate these tiny, magical, and mystical beings. Fairies, or Faeries as they are called in some parts of the world, are fascinating to people young and not so young alike. These creatures are elusive and sometimes downright sneaky. And if you catch one, they will bring you luck or fortune. For example, if you are lucky enough to catch a leprechaun, they have to give you their pot of gold.

In some form or another, fairies have captivated us for hundreds of years. Fairies first appeared in European countries back in the Middle Ages. They can also be found in Greek Mythology. Fairies are not limited to children’s fairy tales. And of course, they are real.

There are all kinds of fairies. Perhaps the best known is the tooth fairy, who leaves money under a child’s pillow in exchange for a tooth. Fairies also have many cousins, including dwarfs, elves, pixies, gnomes, and a variety of others. They have a wide variety of varying characteristics and traits. Fairies can be good or bad. They are often mischievous and whimsical.  

Are you up for a fairy tale? Then, take out a book with fairies in it, and let your imagination run wild as you read it.

We’d like to wave our magic wand at you and wish you a very happy National Fairy Day!!!!
