Judy Garland’s son, Joe Luft, and Alison Arngrim, who played Nellie Olson on Little House on the Prairie will both be aboard the riverboat for this epic weekend kickoff.

Admission to Wizard of Oz Days is just $3 and includes a full day of family-friendly fun, including all of your favorite Oz characters, from Dorothy to the Tin Man. Meet and snap photos with the characters.

Make sure you catch the marionette show; play games, and check out the contests. You might even want to dress up as your favorite Oz character, and enter the costume contest.

A variety of vendors will also be at the festival, so you can stock up on unique Wizard of Oz gear and memorabilia.

Food vendors will be on hand, so bring a hearty appetite with you.
