Once Upon A Time
Gala/Party for Oakland Children's FairylandMay 21, 2025 from 6:00 PM to 9:30 PM
As our major fundraising event of the year, proceeds from the Gala make it possible for us to continue our 75 year-old tradition of serving as an affordable center for family entertainment and literacy in the heart of Oakland. This festive event helps raise funds so that over 192,000 visitors from all over the Bay Area and the world can continue to explore, imagine, learn and enjoy this very magical place. Your generous contribution makes the many programs Children's Fairyland offers to children in the Bay Area possible, such as our hosting of visits from more than 15,000 free or subsidized visits last, Head Start Day, Toddler Storytime where we demonstrate that talking, reading, and singing to babies and toddlers is critical to brain development and success in school.
