About Kay County Free Fair

The Kay County Free Fair in Newkirk is an August fair in the Ponca City country of north-central Oklahoma, celebrating the oil, wheat, and cattle heritage of a county that was home to E.W. Marland (Oklahoma's oil pioneer and governor) and the historic Ponca and Otoe-Missouria tribal lands.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a fair serving the farming, ranching, and oil communities of Kay County.

Visitor Tips

Newkirk is the Kay County seat, while Ponca City is the county's largest city — the Marland Mansion (a 55-room Italian Renaissance palace built by oil baron E.W. Marland), the Pioneer Woman Statue and Museum, and the Kaw Lake reservoir make Kay County exceptionally rich for exploration.
