If you’re looking for a special winter outing that feels magical, the Fairy Brunch at the Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk is back this February.
Now in its fourth year, this family-friendly event combines a brunch buffet with imaginative play, hands-on crafts, and fairy hosts who bring the theme to life. It’s designed as an indoor winter experience that gives kids something fun and interactive to do while parents enjoy a relaxed brunch setting along the Chicago River.
What is a Fairy Brunch?
The Fairy Brunch goes beyond a traditional seated meal. Families can move through rotating activity stations while enjoying a sweet-and-savory brunch buffet.
Kids can:
- Make fairy-themed crafts
- Create their own fairy character
- Meet and take photos with costumed fairy hosts
- Add a little extra sparkle with optional fairy hairstyling from Finklepott’s Fairy Hair
Costumes are encouraged, whether your kids want full wings and wands or just a touch of sparkle. Adults are welcome to join in the fun too or simply enjoy the riverfront views while kids explore the activities.
