Featuring an Art Market & Youth Pow Wow
At the beautiful Scissortail Park in downtown Oklahoma City
Red Earth FallFest 2026
Saturday, October 17, 2026 | 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Scissortail Park | Oklahoma City
Red Earth FallFest is moving to Scissortail Park! After outgrowing our previous location, we are excited to bring FallFest to a larger downtown space with more room for Native artists, more room for the public to enjoy the Youth Powwow, and more space for families to spend the day celebrating Indigenous arts and culture.
Guests can shop the Native art market, enjoy food trucks throughout the day, watch the Youth Powwow, visit the Scissortail Park Farmers Market in the morning, and enjoy the park's playground and open green space.
More space, more artists, and more room to celebrate
More Room for Artists
Our move to Scissortail Park gives FallFest room to grow, with space for more Native artists and a larger outdoor art market.
Better Powwow Viewing
The larger park setting gives guests more room to gather, bring chairs or blankets, and enjoy the Youth Powwow throughout the day.
A Full Day Downtown
Come early for the Scissortail Park Farmers Market, stay for food trucks, visit the playground, and enjoy FallFest in the heart of Oklahoma City.
Join the FallFest Native Art Market
Red Earth FallFest is now accepting Native artist applications for the 2026 art market. This year's move to Scissortail Park creates an exciting opportunity for more artists to join us in a high-traffic downtown location with families, powwow attendees, Farmers Market visitors, and community members spending the day in the park.
We are looking for Native artists working in traditional and contemporary forms, including jewelry, beadwork, pottery, painting, textiles, fashion, prints, sculpture, and handmade goods. FallFest is a great opportunity to connect with new customers, share your work with the public, and be part of one of Red Earth's most welcoming community events.

The Red Earth FallFest Youth Powwow brings together young dancers, families, drum groups, and community members for a powerful celebration of culture, tradition, and pride.
