The Oklahoma State Fair is back, but that’s not the only reason to get out in Oklahoma City this week. Shop local under the stars, catch live music, experience a longtime OKC tradition or spend an evening looking up at the Moon.
Sept. 17-27 | OKC Fair Park
The Oklahoma State Fair is back with 11 days of rides, live entertainment, exhibits and, of course, plenty of fair food. This year’s lineup includes new food vendors, nightly concerts on the Chickasaw Country Entertainment Stage and Disney on Ice at the OG&E Coliseum.
Opening weekend highlights include Sebastian Bach with Great White on Friday and the Route 66 Red Dirt Music Festival on Saturday. Concerts on the Chickasaw Country Entertainment Stage are included with outside gate admission.
Night Market at Scissortail Park

International Observe the Moon Night
Sept. 19 | Science Museum Oklahoma
Look up during International Observe the Moon Night at Science Museum Oklahoma. The free outdoor event joins NASA’s worldwide celebration of the Moon with telescope viewing, hands-on activities and help from museum staff spotting objects in the night sky.
Guests can also explore tactile lunar maps and meteorites or sketch their own observations. This year’s event coincides with the anniversary of the museum’s Love’s Planetarium.
Whether you’re headed to the fair, catching live music or spending Saturday night looking up at the moon, this week offers plenty of ways to get out and enjoy Oklahoma City as summer winds down and fall begins.
