48th Annual Festival of the Gnomes

December 7 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Follow the wee folk on their adventures doing good works for man and nature. Find out how they outsmart the trolls and even the dreaded Snotgurgle.

Visit the lobby filled with unique, gnome-made treasures for a wee price. Get your own gnome cap. Even personalize a pin for your cap.

Audience members can be gnomes, too! Get your own gnome cap in Gift Shop for $3. First year to the fest? Buy your own gnome cap to start a new tradition. On your second year to the fest, you’ll get your first tassel.

Did you buy a cap BEFORE this year? You get a free tassel sewn on this year! Visit the Gnome Sewers gathered around the fireplace.

No two dolls are alike! Don’t miss a chance to win a Sally Susner soft-sculpted, plush gnome doll. One boy and one girl doll will be raffled off at the close of Sunday’s show. Winner need not be present. If you cannot attend the fest but would like to be in the raffle, contact the park ([email protected]).
