Wee Faerie Village presents...Fathom Heights!
This year, we are really going overboard! Hold your breath and dive right in to explore the community of Fathom Heights, the wonderful underwater world of the sea faeries.
06H20 is the Connecticut zip code for a fashionable shoreside community where the wee sea faeries—enchanted creatures sporting both wings and fins—live, work, and play. From shell encrusted houses and coffee shops to kelp-covered schools, theaters, and sport arenas, you’ll love visiting this underwater wonderland.
The event will feature nearly 30 sea faerie installations as well as a fun roster of special events to compliment the theme. Full calendar coming soon!
This year’s Wee Faerie Village opens on September 30 and runs through October 29.
Since 2009 over 175,000 visitors have immersed themselves in the spirit of imagination and whimsy that comes from visiting at least two dozen pint-sized installations across the Museum’s campus on a perfect autumn day, and this will be no exception!
Check back soon to learn more about special events happening on campus throughout October. And watch the Museum’s social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube) for updates and behind the scenes content.
