Dressed in fanciful costumes and festive outfits, children and adults painted their faces with theatrical makeup, crafted flower crowns and danced among twinkling fairy lights as twilight settled over the arts district. The multigenerational dance company Theatre Upon a StarDanceSwan, which organizes the ball, also performed for the crowd of about 350.
The event celebrates the magic of summer nights, carefree dancing and creative expression, said Oklahoma City musician Steve McLinn, who has performed at every Faerie Ball.
"It's aimed for children and the child at heart in all of us,” he said. "Everybody becomes one part of a huge celebration, so it's pretty fun.”

(1)I guess I missed it. Where does El Charito fit in? (2) I thought the article was about the band The Pixies, not kids, kinda disapointed.
If they could just resurrect El Charito. I think a mural at Ole's on Memorial and Penn shows it best. He has a large tree on the wall with just about all the Mexican food restaurants in the brances. At the bottom of the trunk is El Charito. I was just a kid but I still remember its charm. What made it so good was the attention to detail as its staff were mostly fresh from Mexico. Paseo was the landing zone for Oklahoma City's early river crossers. My family rented a house to them on 27th. I always like going with the family to collect rent or mow the lawn. South Oklahoma City has taken its place and there really is no replacement for El Charito, especially the frozen food line.
