•  FAIRY DOORS
free • outdoors

Fairies have taken over the Shakespeare Garden! We’ve not had an actual fairy sighting yet, but we’ve discovered tiny fairy doors throughout the garden (and in a couple of other spots around the theater).

Come see for yourself!

To welcome the fairies — and let our friends admire their handiwork — we’ve planned some springtime fun. Join us in the garden for our Spring Music Series with live music, springtime playlists from some of ASF’s friends, and Frios Gourmet Pops*.

Fairy Doors and the Spring Music Series is free and family-friendly. You can safely enjoy as you listen and explore. Special thanks to our generous partners: Clef Works, Frios Montgomery, and Holley Steel.

*Free while supplies last

Spring Music Series — Final day: Saturday, May 1, 2–4 p.m.

• Saturday, May 1 — Electric Blue Yonder

Springtime Playlists — Click to play on Spotify

As Spring arrives and Mother Nature unfolds her mysteries, we’ve asked some of our friends in the community to create some playlists for you to enjoy before, during, and after your visit to Fairy Doors. They’ve shared songs that make them happy on a sunshiny day. Click each name to get to their list on Spotify.
