Winterland Arts and Crafts

Fairy Winterland at Children’s Fairyland has been a Bay Area tradition for nearly twenty years! This festive multicultural celebration of global traditions, winter holidays, and end-of-year rituals brings communities together and illuminates the shared truths that unite us all.

This year, Winterland takes place during the day, harvesting the magic of a crisp chill in the air, the icy blue of December sky, and 13 reasons to wear matching sweaters! A most enchanting experience immerses you and your loved ones in the charm and cozy togetherness of a holiday extravaganza.

On December 14-15, 18-23, and 26-30, we will need volunteers to help create a cheerful, festive atmosphere and support the following activities:

  • Barista: serving toasty beverages (9:30-1:00 pm OR 12:30-4:00 pm)

  • Crafter: support our arts and crafts activities (9:30-1:00 pm OR 12:30-4:00 pm)

About Children's Fairyland

Location:

699 Bellevue Ave, Oakland, CA 94610, US

Mission Statement

Children’s Fairyland sparks imagination and a desire to learn by bringing stories to life through immersive experiences. Nestled lakeside in Oakland, Children's Fairyland creates a magical world of wonder that delights visitors of all ages - especially children - through attractions, performances, animals, gardens, programming, and community partnerships.

Description

Children’s Fairyland is the country’s first storybook theme park, opening our doors in 1950. The park creates a magical world of wonder that delights visitors of all ages-especially children-boasting 40 whimsical, storybook-themed exhibits, eight acres of gardens, gentle animals, and educational programs centered on the transformative power of storytelling. In 1994, management of Children’s Fairyland transitioned from a public park to a nonprofit dedicated to Oakland children. Approximately 150,000 visitors explore the park each year.
