A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Crystal Ice Cream Fantasy

A magical night for the whole family!

Fairytale Town will celebrate Shakespeare’s classic fairy play at the park’s annual ice cream social event: A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Crystal Ice Cream Fantasy on Saturday, June 22, from 5-9pm. The enchanting evening features nonstop entertainment for kids and adults, including live music, theatrical performances, fanciful arts and crafts activities, and all the Crystal Ice Cream you can eat!

Sample delicious Crystal Creamery ice cream flavors at stations around the park. Pick up dinner from featured food trucks or the Dish & Spoon Cafe. Bottom’s Up Tavern will be open with wine and beer available for purchase.

Irish Band, Pipers Folly, will perform throughout the evening on the outdoor Mother Goose Stage a mix of classic and new Irish music featuring the banjo, flute, mandolin, guitar, bodhran, and bagpipes. You can also catch a performance of Pyramus and Thisbe from A Midsummer Night’s Dream in the Children’s Theater at 6, 7 & 8 PM.

My family has attended A Midsummer Night’s Dream several times and it is so much fun! The decorations, costumes and music as the sun is going down make for a truly magical event. To top it off, trying different flavors of ice cream throughout the park as we stroll around is heavenly!

My love for exploring and creating experiences with my three kids led to the founding of SacramentoSidetracks.com in 2009. I realized that Sacramento has so much to offer and I was excited to share my findings with other parents. Besides simply having fun, these are the other positive side effects of taking my kids on outings that I’ve discovered: we have quality time together away from the distractions at home, we cultivate our curiosity, learn new things, conversations are triggered by what we see and do, we connect and bond as a family, and we create new memories. Ready to get sidetracked, too? Let me be your guide!
