April in OKC
The calendar is packed in April with a world-class marathon, concerts and other fun activities! Here are a few recommendations of ways to discover the Modern Frontier this month.
Can't Miss Events
Come to Remember
On April 25-27, runners and spectators from across the globe will make their way to downtown Oklahoma City for the 25th OKC Memorial Marathon. A tribute to those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever by the Oklahoma City bombing, the marathon unites locals and visitors in a hopeful mission to celebrate life, reach for the future and honor all who were affected on April 19, 1995. The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum will hold a 30th Anniversary Remembrance Ceremony on April 19 to commemorate the day.
Festival of the Arts
From April 24-27, the stunning displays of more than 100 artists will line Bicentennial Park for OKC's Festival of the Arts. Browse through paintings, jewelry, photography, mixed media and other beautiful pieces (all for sale!) between live performances from local musicians, school groups and more. You can even create some art of your own! Insider tip: Come with an empty stomach. The Festival food is as impressive as the impeccable art that surrounds it.
Watch a Game
Baseball is back! Opening day for the Oklahoma City Comets is April 1. Catch one of OKC Thunder's final games of the season (before they start the playoffs 😏) at the Paycom Center. Their final regular season home game is on April 8.
Listen to Live Music
Enjoy live music in the Modern Frontier! Beer City Music Hall and Tower Theatre always have a full slate of performances and dance parties. Lovers of classical music will want to check out the Oklahoma City Philharmonic's upcoming lineup. Discover the live music scene in Oklahoma City and plan your next concert adventure!
