Please read a message from the Friends of the South End:

The Friends of the South End (FOSE) regrets to announce that our fairytale chapter has come to a close. From its humble beginnings in the pocket gardens of Portsmouth, NH, the Fairy House Tour grew into a world-class celebration of creativity, magical building, and community spirit for over 25 years.

We are so grateful to the thousands of visitors who donned fairy wings and gnome hats and eagerly explored the grounds of the Stawbery Banke Museum, John Langdon House, and Prescott Park year after year. Your participation has enabled FOSE to reinvest more than $375,000 into our local schools and event partner organizations.

To our FOSE members, dedicated volunteers, and the countless artists who proved that "if you build it, they will come" - THANK YOU for making the fairy House Tour a treasured memory for so many generations.
