I am not a huge country fan but I love a good music festival especially when it is close to home. I went to the main stage events on Friday and I was blown away by Merle Haggard! I was the most excited to see this country legend live and he put on a great show! Saturday I really enjoyed listening to Randy Rogers and Lady Antebellum. The event was held in the old ford dealership and the location was nice, but It would have been better if we had been able to bring blankets and chairs inside for more comfortable seating. Even if they had an area in the back where you could have set up a chair or had a blanket it would have improved the event greatly. The set up was great if you like dancing and walking around. The food trucks around the main stage felt adequate for the number of people in attendance. The beer was $5 and a water was $4 which was pricey. I felt that you should have been able to bring in some water with you due to the heat and humidity, but I understand they wanted to make money. I just always worry that people will not drink enough water in the heat. I saw at least two people being seen by medics and both looked to be because of heat and dehydration. The event was spread out all over downtown and the stages were pretty far apart. It was also a little frustrating that once you were in the main stage you couldn't leave and check out the other areas of the festival. All in all I feel this event was a success! It was the first year of Okc Fest and I would be interested in checking it out if it happens again next year! I really debated on giving it five stars, but I feel there is room for improvement next year.

Once again the OKC Fest rocks! The lineup couldn't have been better! Can't wait until next year!read more

The Pagoda Pizza place was unusual, unexpected even. It would have been 15% better if I had pedestrian right of way on a sidewalk with a baby stroller. I get the fact that folks who were standing there first win the right of way battle, but the Bob Harper doppelganger with a beer in hand who walks up from the street just to stand there.. no sir. That and the weather are my only true qualms. If we had gotten the H&8th early experience it maybe have been more family friendly. Definitely going to give them a second change to redeem the adventure with gumbo and a Oklahoma cheesesteak with bbq.. there is already a plan in place!

The food, for the most part, is typical and somewhat overpriced carnival fare, but it's all part of the whole experience. (If you don't want to eat at the fair itself, by all means do the smart thing and eat before you go. It's not exactly rocket science.) The admission price is fair, and there's plenty of free stuff (the people watching part's my personal favorite) for even the most hardened of old skinflints among us. Fun.

Oklahoma Craft Beer Festival is an annual event and is not to be missed if you like beer. 2016…read moremarked the sixth year for the festival, and was the second year for the festival to be held indoors at the Cox Convention Center. The festival organizers moved the event from the parking lot next to Tapwerks due to inclement weather in 2015, and it worked so well, it's now the spot (more space and no weather worries). I did not attend the festival at the previous location, but I did attend last year and this year. In my opinion, the organizers are doing a great job of creating an excellent beer festival that maybe someday will compete with the *holy grail. The OCBF is the place to try all sorts of Oklahoma brews as well as non-Okie beers (there were over 300 beers to try this year). Also, OCBF included homebrewers who were sponsored by established breweries this year. I really enjoyed meeting and talking to the homebrewers. The festival also included three food trucks outside this year, and while the food truck spot was pretty cramped, it was nice to have them at the very moment I realized I'd completed my first "power hour" of the day (thank you, food trucks!). There also were multiple water stations around the Convention Center which was great. I noticed the **pretzel necklace made more of an appearance this year than last year, so I think it's catching on here. One of the best parts of a beer festival is getting to try special releases that are only available at the festival. Several breweries did offer special releases during each session and I hope this is an area of improvement in future festivals. I think other areas of improvement are: create a dedicated area for designated drivers with non-alcoholic drinks and snacks. Have some games, some live music, etc. All in all, though, this is an impressive festival and I'm really glad we have it. Other note: The VIP session goers were given a glass tasting cup. Seriously? *Great American Beer Festival, GABF, in Denver. **It's a thing.

I had never been to the Edmond Arts Festival and was glad I did. So many shops downtown I never knew about plus I was able to enjoy all the amazing talented artist, artisans, photographers,jewelers. I wish I could afford to buy so many things. Sunday is the last day and they will be done at dusk. Go enjoy a free event,support your Oklahoma artist and try out some food. They also have a children's play area too. Great time to take the littles out for fun.

Sat outside on their awesome patio and enjoyed the weather. Loved the tables the festival put in the middle of the street. Sat at one for a bit and chatted with friends and saw a bunch that were walking by. The music inside The Barrel was fun, such a great atmosphere. They had drink specials and it was a chill environment. We then went across the street to Drum Room for dinner and they also had drink specials. Our table of 5 shared some chicken and waffles and left very happy after having some club specials that were priced at $4. All in all, was a great day- enjoyed the event.
