On October 1st, Oklahoma City’s Plaza District will come alive to celebrate local creativity with live music, artist booths, kids’ art activities, and a variety of local concessions at the annual Plaza District Festival. The Plaza District Festival is proud to boast OKLAHOMA artists, performers and vendors only, a truly local event! The festival is free and open to the public drawing audiences from across Oklahoma. “We are so thrilled to host so many great artists and activities,” say Plaza District Executive Director, Kristen Vails, “ our district has grown so much thanks to the community’s support of local creativity, and we are thrilled to give Oklahoma City this exciting day of talent and culture.”
Over 40 Oklahoma artist booths will line 16th Street, while a stage in the center of the district will highlight local performers and musicians. Daytime performances include Irish Stepdancers, Flamenco dancers, performances by the Everything Goes Dance Studio and sneak previews of Lyric Theatre’s upcoming “Altar Boyz”. The evening will feature local bands from across the Oklahoma City Music Scene, including Kacey Walkingstick, The Wurly Birds, The Boom Bang, Junebug Spade and Brother Gruesome.
The festival is also proud to highlight a wealth of kid’s art educational art activities. Children will be able to create four art projects alongside art instructors from Norman Firehouse Art Center, as well as paint on an interactive art mural. For the aspiring performers, the Oklahoma City Philharmonic will present a “Music Playground”, where children have the chance to experiment with all the instruments used in the symphony alongside professional musicians. Children will also be able to create their own puppets, and then host their own puppet show as well as go on an artistic scavenger hunt throughout the Plaza District. Other activities include a moon bounce, craft booths and face painting.
Sponsors of the festival, Fowler Volkswagen of Norman will welcome the fall with a variety of campsite activities, and visitors should keep an eye out for Bigfoot in order to win awesome Fowler VW prizes throughout the day!
Visitors will enjoy local food from OKC’s finest mobile food trucks complimented by local brewery COOP Ale Works. Plaza District merchants will be open for shopping, and a special “Plazafied” pop up shop will be home to artist made, Plaza District themed merchandise. Sales of merchandise go directly to supporting the Plaza District Association to continue to provide these creative events and opportunities. The Plaza District is located on the 1700 block of Northwest 16th Street, just west of North Classen.
