Fairy Home Contest 2025!

We are looking for artists, individuals, organizations, and companies to build fairy houses to display along the Fairyville Trail. The walkable Trail will stretch from Noblesville Creates through parts of downtown Noblesville. These houses can celebrate Earth Day and/or represent your home, business, or your favorite local spot – be as creative as you’d like! Visit our Facebook page to look at the 2024 Fairy House Contest Album.  Need more inspiration or help? Contact us and we’ll connect you with fairy real estate experts!

As the sun is setting, you find yourself wandering into a unique atmosphere for Fairyville After Dark. You tell the fairy your name and they let you into the VIP event.  Enjoying a free drink and some food, you find yourself staring in awe as an aerialist from Suspended Animation Aerials spins high in the air.  Your heart beats with the drums and strings of Indy Raqs as their dancers inspire your own hips to move.  Is that person really walking on bottles?  You nearly bump into a stilt walker as you are too busy being mesmerized by the spinning fire of Acro & Flow.  Your evening is complete with more surprises and activities.
