State Fair of Oklahoma

By the Numbers

The State Fair of Oklahoma has run in Oklahoma City since 1907 and holds the state's official fair designation. It's a separate event from the larger, privately organized Tulsa State Fair, which didn't gain “state fair” status until 1935 and isn't the state-recognized fair.

Good to Know

Located at 3001 General Pershing Blvd in Oklahoma City, easily accessible from I-44 and I-40. Purchase tickets online in advance for savings. The fair's eleven days provide flexibility — weekdays are significantly less crowded than weekends. The food is legendary: try the Fried Onion Burger, Indian tacos, and other Oklahoma specialties.
