Midtown turns into a front-porch party for the Fourth as Hillwilly’s throws its all-day Hillbilly Cookout. Expect live music, ice-cold drinks and free hot dogs hot off the grill (while supplies last, of course). With Southern tunes, block-party vibes and red, white and blue on full display, this celebration brings the joy of a small-town Fourth to the heart of the city. OKANA’s Star-Spangled Bash
Friday, July 4 | 10 a.m. – 9 p.m.
OKANA Resort & Indoor Waterpark, 639 First Americans Blvd.
Admission: $69.99
OKANA is going big for the holiday with an all-day celebration packed with performers, games and a grand fireworks show to close the night.
From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., immersive performers will roam the area, including a stilt walker, giant fan dancers, a waterproof face painter, a caricature artist and a DJ spinning summer beats to keep the energy up throughout the day.
Starting at noon, guests can take part in classic Americana games like tug of war, sack races, cornhole and pop-up rounds of American trivia. At 2 p.m., the hot dog eating contest begins—bring your appetite. The day wraps up at 9 p.m. with a fireworks finale lighting up the OKANA skies.
Whether you’re looking for music, rides, backyard energy or waterpark fun, OKC has the Fourth covered. Stay safe, soak it all in and let freedom ring!
