Oklahoma City's history is rich with Native American culture, and through various events throughout the year, Red Earth promotes the traditions of American Indian arts and cultures in and around OKC.
Red Earth Festival
August 1-2, 2026
Celebrate four decades of Native art, culture and community as the Red Earth Festival comes home to downtown Oklahoma City for a vibrant two-day event at the Oklahoma City Convention Center.
Experience one of the nation’s premier Native art markets, featuring more than 130 Indigenous artists showcasing original works in painting, jewelry, sculpture, beadwork, textiles and more. Shop award-winning pieces, meet the artists in person and take home something truly special.
Throughout the festival, enjoy live dance performances and spirited competitions that bring movement, color and tradition to the heart of OKC. This milestone celebration promises to be bigger, bolder and more unforgettable than ever—uniting artists and visitors from across the country in a powerful tribute to Native heritage.
Celebrate Indigenous People's Day at Red Earth FallFest in October at Scissortail Park in downtown OKC. The festival will feature an arts & crafts market, Youth Powwow and food trucks. Be sure to bring your lawn chairs, blankets and a picnic to enjoy the day of free family friendly activities.
