Spring Events

The Oklahoma City calendar is packed with all kinds of happenings and festivals throughout the year, but springtime is home to two of its biggest annual events.

Festival of the Arts

From April 25-30, the stunning displays of more than 100 artists will line Bicentennial Park for OKC's Festival of the Arts. Browse through paintings, jewelry, photography, mixed media and other beautiful pieces (all for sale!) between live performances from local musicians, school groups and more. You can even create some art of your own! Insider tip: Come with an empty stomach. The Festival food is as impressive as the impeccable art that surrounds it.

OKC Memorial Marathon

On April 29-30, runners and spectators from across the globe will make their way to downtown Oklahoma City for the OKC Memorial Marathon. A tribute to those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever by the Oklahoma City bombing, the marathon unites locals and visitors in a hopeful mission to celebrate life, reach for the future and honor all who were affected on April 19, 1995.

Root for the Home Teams
