Red Earth FallFest is making a huge move to Scissortail Park in downtown Oklahoma City! In this episode of the Only in OK Show, we break down everything you need to know about this free, family-friendly autumn festival celebrating Indigenous art, youth, and culture.

Join us as we explore what's in store for Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. We dive into the Red Earth Youth Powwow, featuring young Native dancers across categories from Fancy Shawl and Jingle to the crowd-favorite Tiny Tots (with Grand Entry at 12:00 PM!). Plus, get details on the expanded outdoor Native Art Market, featuring authentic beadwork, pottery, jewelry, fashion, and contemporary Indigenous art.

We also map out the perfect "Make a Day of It" downtown itinerary, starting with the Scissortail Farmers Market, hitting the local food trucks, and wrapping up in time for a downtown dinner.

  • Red Earth FallFest Details: Dates, dancer check-in info, and artist/vendor applications via RedEarth.org .

  • The Main Event: Youth Powwow schedule, dance styles, and drum groups.
