Stockyards Stampede

October 17, 2026

Step into Oklahoma City’s cowboy culture at the Stockyards Stampede, an annual celebration packed with Western flavor in the heart of Oklahoma City’s historic Stockyards City District. The event opens with a “stampede” of Oklahoma Longhorn, followed by an authentic Chuck Wagon camp, live music, Western demonstrations and the Made in Oklahoma Market. Guests can sample local foods, meet ranch animals and experience the rich heritage that defines Stockyards City. 

Families will find plenty of fun at the Kids Corral next to the National Saddlery Arena with pony rides, face painting, dummy roping and engaging agricultural activities. The day also features the Little Miss and Mr. Stockyards City Pageant at Rodeo Cinema. With hands‑on experiences and classic cowboy charm, the Stockyards Stampede is a must‑attend event for anyone visiting OKC.
