Before You Go

Expo Square sits in the heart of Tulsa near the Arkansas River — the Philbrook Museum of Art (in a stunning Italian Renaissance villa), Gilcrease Museum (the world's largest collection of Western American art), the historic Greenwood District (the original Black Wall Street), and the beautiful Riverside Drive along the Arkansas River make Tulsa an exceptional companion city to the fair.

On the Midway

Expect major grandstand entertainment, championship livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, demolition derby, a full fair midway, and the distinctive energy of Tulsa — a city with one of the finest collections of Art Deco architecture in the world and a proud Oklahoma identity.

What to Know

The Tulsa State Fair at Expo Square is Oklahoma's second great state fair, an eleven-day late-September celebration in the "Oil Capital of the World" that draws hundreds of thousands of visitors from across the Green Country region of northeast Oklahoma and neighboring states. It began in 1903 and has stayed a fixture of Oklahoma agricultural life for more than a century.
