About Coal County Free Fair
The Coal County Free Fair in Coalgate is an August fair in the former coal mining country of south-central Oklahoma, celebrating the cattle, oil, and mining heritage of one of Oklahoma's smaller counties along the Muddy Boggy Creek watershed in the Arbuckle Mountain foothills.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair in the rolling hills and creek bottoms of the old Choctaw Nation coal mining district.
Visitor Tips
Coalgate is the Coal County seat — the surrounding Muddy Boggy Creek country, the Coalgate historical coal mining heritage, and the nearby Arbuckle Mountains and Chickasaw National Recreation Area make this small county a gateway to some of south-central Oklahoma's most dramatic scenery.
