Pawnee County Free Fair Overview
Held annually in Pawnee, the Pawnee County Free Fair is an August fair at the historic home of the Pawnee Bill Ranch, celebrating the cattle, oil, and Native American heritage of a county deeply connected to both the Pawnee Nation and to Gordon "Pawnee Bill" Lillie, the Wild West showman and oil baron.
Good to Know
Pawnee is home to the Pawnee Bill Ranch and Museum (Gordon Lillie's spectacular estate and Wild West show headquarters), the Pawnee Nation tribal complex, and the beautiful Pawnee Lake — one of the most historically layered small towns in Oklahoma.
Highlights
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a fair in the rolling blackjack oak and tallgrass prairie country of the Arkansas River watershed.
