The Fairy Princess, a Kansas City tradition since 1935!
The Kansas City Museum is proud to announce that the Fairy Princess event will be held in the museum’s Betty Milbank Waldrop Salon, the beautiful Louis XVI French Salon located on the first floor of the museum. This year the museum is celebrating our 38th year of hosting the Fairy Princess. It was in 1987 when the Kansas City Museum resumed the Fairy Princess tradition after Kline’s Department Store had closed in the early 1970s.
It was in 1935 that Kline’s on Main Street, downtown Kansas City, had first initiated the Fairy Princess event to promote their new “Toyland” Department. After 35 years of yesterday’s youngsters telling their fondest holiday hopes to the magical Fairy Princess, her enchantment came to an end.

This year we are celebrating 38 years of the Fairy Princess magic to generations of youngsters. Now, the Fairy Princess will always be on her throne in a room befitting the wonderous enchantment and hopeful wishes she gives to each child’s visit.
