Come and join the fun on Saturday, April 26, at the Saline Courthouse Museum! 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!
