WaterCress Fest

Come join the festivities on April  at the Saline Courthouse Museum for the first-ever Watercress Fest! The festival will feature cultural games and art demonstrations, conservation and ethnobotany tours, as well as a pop-up market, native food trucks and live music.

Watercress Fest will center around the Land & Water Summit focusing on conservationism and stewardship of the Cherokee Nation Reservation. This summit will include lectures and panels on the topics of environmental awareness, along with ecological and conservation issues and how they are affecting individual Cherokee citizens and the tribe as a whole.

Observe the fine skills of pottery and basket making, take in a game of stickball, listen to some live music and grab a bite to eat at Watercress Fest on April 20 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
