About This Event

Okemah Pioneer Day & Horses to Horsepower

Make your way to Okemah during the last weekend in April, when small town charm meets fun for the entire family. Celebrate Okemah’s pioneer founding with a weekend full of the nostalgia of rodeo and reenactments, and the pure joy that only small town festivals can provide. From parades and carnivals to food trucks and merry-go-rounds, there’s something for everyone to enjoy and experience. Don’t miss the games on Main Street — events like the high noon egg toss and best-decorated turtle contest are sure to keep you coming back every year.
