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!
