Over Memorial Day weekend, Merriweather Park at Symphony Woods will become a playground for people with overactive imaginations. As you explore the forest, you’ll come upon all kinds of fantastical creatures — fairies and unicorns, of course, but also a crew of stranded space aliens and a giant sock monster who wants you to tell him a joke.
It’s all part of the first FantasyWood Festival, which is being produced by a trio of organizations: the Inner Arbor Trust, which manages Merriweather Park; the Circus Siren Pod mermaid performance group; and ManneqArt, a Laurel, Md.-based arts nonprofit run by fashion designer Lee Andersen.
