Get ready, Oklahoma City! The Affair of the Heart is back for 2025, and it’s bigger and better than ever. Mark your calendars for October 17-19 and head over to OKC Fair Park, where the event will take place across four buildings: Centennial, Modern Living, Pavilion and OEH. Doors will be open Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m to 6 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Tickets are $12 for adults, and kids 12 and under get in free, making it a perfect family outing. If you’re planning to come with a group of 20 or more adults—you can purchase discounted tickets for $9 each online.
So, what exactly can you expect from the Affair of the Heart? This year’s event features over 400 vendors, each showcasing a wide variety of handmade goods and unique finds. From stunning works of art and home décor to boutique fashion pieces and holiday gifts, there’s truly something for every taste and style. Whether you’re on the hunt for a special gift, something to treat yourself, or just looking to be inspired by the amazing craftsmanship on display, you’ll find it here.
What started back in 1985 as a small event with just 60 booths and 800 visitors in OKC has grown into a vibrant series of shows. Today, there are three annual events in OKC and two in Tulsa, attracting thousands of shoppers and supporters of local creativity each year.
This year is particularly meaningful as it marks a new chapter for the event. The original founders are retiring, passing the torch to Marketplace Events, who will continue to carry on the mission of supporting small businesses, artisans and crafters throughout the state. Their dedication ensures that the Affair of the Heart remains a welcoming space where creativity and community thrive.
If you love discovering one-of-a-kind treasures, supporting local makers or just enjoying the energy of a bustling marketplace full of creativity, the Affair of the Heart is a can’t-miss event. Whether you come with friends, family or on your own, you’re sure to leave inspired—and maybe with a few new favorites in hand.
