Now in its 11th year, Artpark Fairy House Festival has evolved from an art walk of the miniature fairy houses installed in the park by both local community and professional artists to an international, interdisciplinary and immersive performing arts festival with European street theater groups, modern dance, interactive performances by local actors, and music presented in the setting of the park overlooking the stunning Niagara Gorge.

Dr. Peggy Brooks-Bertram will re-introduce The Tulsa Massacre not as an isolated event, but as an event “in the making” over a period of years with this presentation. She will describe how this feeling of “race-hatred” by white Oklahomans was crystalized through the government, the arts, the stage and the silent screen; especially through the works of Rev. Thomas Dixon – namely his film The Birth of a Nation.

Center Street will feature booths from area nurseries, landscapers, garden vendors, and outdoor suppliers, along with demonstrations by garden professionals. Soil samples will be analyzed, and questions answered by Master Gardeners and area floral society experts.
