Water Cress Fest

Come and join the fun on Saturday, April 26, at the Saline Courthouse Museum! Brad Wagnon will have his traditional Cherokee tales, The Cherokee Syllabary, and his latest: Baby’s First Cherokee, as well as other hand made items with Trib3 Steelworks.

Enjoy a day filled with Cherokee culture and events at Watercress Fest, featuring live music, art demonstrations and Native games alongside guided tours, a pop-up market and food trucks.

Watercress Fest centers around celebrating our relationship to land and water. Our connection to the environment has a positive impact on the well-being of Cherokee Nation citizens and the tribe as a whole. Our hands are guiding the stewardship and shaping the conservation of our reservation.

Gain Cherokee perspectives on Native plants, appreciate artistic talents, take in a game of stickball, listen to good music and enjoy a bite to eat at Watercress Fest. This year, the festival will offer even more hands-on experiences, including cooking demonstrations and cultural workshops!
