What to Do in Oklahoma City
If you like country and western style, then
Oklahoma City in Oklahoma is the place you want to be. You can find many events
that relate to rodeos, music as well as fun in this city throughout the year.
Oklahoma City has a mild climate and events are scheduled throughout the summer
as well as winter months.

The Native American Art Festival takes place at the

of each year. This is an event that features bronco busting, bull riding and
even clowns. It is fun for the entire family.

Enjoy a Fourth of July like never before at the

a discount in admission. Best of all, there is a parade and a fireworks show
that rounds out the evening that is fun for the young as well as young at
heart.
Western Music Festival
Western music is more foot stomping than country
music. Although Oklahoma has both, western music is celebrated every year at
the Centennial Rodeo Opry House. Visit Oklahoma City during the last weekend of
July to enjoy some real foot stomping western entertainment.
Annual Horse Show
Express Ranches holds an annual horse show that

the summer during the last weekend in August at the Oklahoma Heritage Day
