Do’s and Don’ts for the OKC Festival of the Arts

9:25 AM EDT on April 21, 2022

They say April showers bring May flowers, but for longer than I’ve been alive they have also brought Oklahoma’s annual Festival of the Arts, currently open now through Sunday in downtown Bicentennial Park.

For those who have never attended this celebration of artists and their art, or perhaps need a refresher (it’s been a rough couple of years), we’ve assembled a helpful list of do’s and don’t for those who plan to attend.

Check it out:

DO: WEAR GOOD SHOES

Whether you’re hiking from your parking spot to the festival, standing in line for food, or shuffling from tent to tent enjoying the art we all pretend to understand, you’ll be spending a lot of time on your feet at the Festival of the Arts. Of all the things for sale at the festival, Dr. Scholl's Shoe Inserts are not one of them. Fashion rules confuse me, like when to stop wearing white each year or if mullets are back in style or not, but one thing I do know is that good walking shoes are always seasonable at the Festival of the Arts.
