The entire venue was filled to the brim with magical creatures ranging from witches – both good and evil – fairies of every imaginable sort, pixies, elves, fantastic beasts, and popular characters ranging from Obelix to Professor Snape from Harry Potter fame, Ursula from Little Mermaid, and even a larger-than-life faun that went around entertaining people by playing flutes and a saxophone.

Outfits ranged from cute to downright terrifying. Even four-legged fayre goers were dressed to the nines, sporting everything from faery wings to full armour.
