In 1948, a tiny restaurant called called Pixie Kitchen^sm opened its doors in Wecoma Beach, one of the five towns that would combine to become Lincoln City, Oregon. It was purchased in 1953 by Jerry and Lu Parks, who transformed it into a children’s wonderland. Pixie Kitchen was something never seen before, with animatronics, fun house mirrors and all-you-can-eat family meals. It was a must-see attraction for over 30 years and remains a treasured part of childhood for thousands of people. We’re happy to bring it back every year so the magic can be relived and shared.

The ongoing success of Pixie Kitchen, with its legions of pixie cooks, fishermen, railroad engineers, sea creatures, balloonists, mermaids and sea captains inspired the creation of Pixieland^sm, a theme park just north of Lincoln City. Pixieland opened its gates in 1969 and enjoyed its last season just seven years later. In the meantime, guests rode Little Toot the steam engine, took thrilling rides on the log flume and enjoyed a multitude of melodramas in the Opera House.

Some of you may think that the Pixies packed up and left town when Pixie Kitchen^sm closed its doors. Turns out we have lots and lots of Pixies still here happy to help make Pixiefest happen. Many thanks to the Pixies at Chinook Winds Casino Resort who graciously offered to host the event and  sponsor the stage. We also receive support from the Pixies at the Lincoln City Outlet Mall, Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau, NW Natural Gas, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and a host of others who provide volunteers and  sponsor support.

We have big Pixie Kitchen^tm news for 2018: Pixie Kitchen will be an attraction within the food court. We have a big, 40′ x 40′ tent with a couple of 20′ x 20′ tents tacked on for good measure and we will be doing our best to replicate the Pixie Kitchen experience inside, complete with original recipe Pixie Kitchen food.

PLUS…the Culinary Center of Lincoln City has done amazing detective work tracking down original Pixie Kitchen recipes, which are being published in the Pixie Kitchen Cookbook we’ll have for sale at Pixiefest. D-Dogs will also be returning along with lots of other great food vendors.

As Jerry Parks used to say, no one leaves hungry.
