Oz-Stravaganza! ’12

Presenting Sponsor—The Oneida Indian Nation

Welcome to the Wonderful Web Site of Oz...

Oz-Stravaganza! That Is!


WELCOME TO OUR WORLD ON THE WEB, where we celebrate the work of 
Chittenango, N.Y.’s favorite son; The Royal Historian Of Oz, L. Frank Baum.

Are you a good witch, or a bad witch? Whether you travel by broomstick or bubble, this year’s Oz-Stravaganza! is for you!!! The theme for the 2012 event is “The Wonderful Witches of Oz”. .. and we have an amazing array of special guests to help us bring the many versions of OZ to life!

We hope that the information you find within will inspire you. Inspire you to come visit us as we host the annual Oz-Stravaganza! festival celebrating all things Oz. Inspire you to read an OZ book. Inspire you to write and OZ story. Or maybe it will just inspire you to come and walk along our Yellow Brick Road sidewalks and touch history.

L. Frank Baum was born here, and this is the center of the OZ universe. If you are a fan of OZ, or just a student of popular culture, you can’t help but notice that OZ is a part of our everyday life. From references in songs (America’s “Tin Man”), to commercials (Pillsbury-Clicking heels three times), to sayings we all know and love. . .” and your little dog too” or “There’s No Place Like Home.”


We notice too. And we are excited by it. The stories that have captured hearts around the globe, all came from a local man. For that, we celebrate.


The first weekend in June every year, we invite you to come celebrate with us.
