Performances / A Victorian Fairy Garden Party

Last Saturday in July

A Victorian Fairy Garden Party

Three ways to participate!

1. Join a VFGP Summer Camp at Strictly Ballet the month of July

A ballet camp where dancers take ballet class, learn original choreography, create a costume and perform at A Victorian Fairy Garden Party. See Summer Ballet Intensives page.

Contact StrictlyBalletArts@gmail to register.

2. Create your own Fairy or Victorian costume

Wear it to the party and enter the costume contest (with prizes!) and join the promenade that opens a VFGP.

3. Play the Scavenger Hunt

The week before the party find 5 Nutcracker ornaments throughout downtown Lewisburg stores. Each photo entry places your name in the pot, names will be drawn and the winners receive downtown dollars!

Purchase something-and send a selfie of it- at one of the participating shops and your name will be added to the drawing 10x!

Scavenger Hunt Rules of Play

Win a prize! Look for 5 Nutcracker ornaments in participating Downtown Lewisburg businesses with a VFGP logo in their window starting July 26 through noon July 29.

Rules: Find an ornament, take a selfie with it. Message selfie to @StrictlyBalletArts on instagram.

Your name will be added to a drawing for each ornament selfie sent (limit one photo with each ornament per person). The prize winner will be drawn during A VFGP on July 29.

A costumed event held Saturday July 29 at 7:30pm on the front lawn of the Greenspace Center in Lewisburg. A Victorian FairyGarden Party is an enchanting summer evening full of activities and entertainment inspired by Victoriana and Fairy Couture for the community at large.

It is a fundraiser for our December performance of “A Lewisburg Victorian Nutcracker”, co-produced by Strictly Ballet & RiverStage Community Theatre. There is no entrance fee to VFGP, but donations are appreciated.
