Folklife Festival 2026

Join us for the Oklahoma Folklife Festival on Saturday, November 14, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The festival is free and open to the public. This festival is designed to engage visitors with opportunities to experience other cultures and traditions while celebrating the diversity that is Oklahoma. This community-wide event will celebrate and recognize what the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress has called “the everyday and intimate creativity that all of us share and pass on to the next generation.” This “creativity” will be represented at the Oklahoma Folklife Festival in the form of dancing, singing, crafts, food, and more. Food vendors, musical performers, and educational resources will also be in attendance. Attendees of all ages can enjoy crafts at the festival.
