The Red Earth Festival is one of the nation’s premier celebrations of Native art and culture, and in 2026, we proudly mark our 40th anniversary as we return home to downtown Oklahoma City.

    We are inviting Native artists, artisans, performers, and storytellers to share their talents with the community through demonstrations, workshops, storytelling, and performances. This is a unique opportunity to be highlighted as part of a milestone year in Red Earth’s history.

    An Honorary Invitation

    Participation in these programs is offered on a volunteer basis, and we are deeply grateful for the generosity of those who make this celebration possible. In appreciation, selected participants will be recognized on our festival website, highlighted in Red Earth social media and marketing, and honored as part of the 40th Annual Red Earth Festival alongside leading Native artists and cultural voices.

    By joining us, you help carry forward the traditions and creativity that have made Red Earth a trusted stage for Native voices for four decades.
