About Woods County Free Fair
Held each August in Alva, Woods County Free Fair celebrates the agricultural heritage of a county anchored by Northwestern Oklahoma State University and the Great Salt Plains reservoir on the Salt Fork of the Arkansas River. The area's broader history includes notable events and landmarks dating to 1893.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair in the rolling red and gypsum hills country of Woods County.
Visitor Tips
Alva is home to Northwestern Oklahoma State University — the Cherokee Strip Museum and Research Center (commemorating the largest land run in American history, the September 16, 1893 Cherokee Strip Land Run), and the Great Salt Plains State Park nearby make Alva a worthwhile northwest Oklahoma destination.
