Oklahoma State Fair

The Oklahoma State Fair is one of North America's top state fairs, held each September at the fairgrounds at 3001 General Pershing Blvd in Oklahoma City. The fair showcases the state's agriculture, manufacturing and commerce with carnival rides, livestock and horse shows, creative-arts competitions, commercial exhibits, and a lineup of free concerts and shows. Recent fairs have drawn roughly one million visitors. Beyond the September run (September 16–26 in 2027), the fairgrounds — also known as State Fair Park / OKC Fair Park — operate year-round as an event venue hosting concerts, expos, and equestrian and livestock events in facilities including the Jim Norick Arena and the Bennett Event Center. The fair's official site publishes hours, admissions, a food finder, carnival information and a coupon book. The fairgrounds are patrolled by 24-hour security; parking is credit/debit only on arrival.
