Oklahoma City Culture

Oklahoma City was born overnight on April 22, 1889 when unassigned prairie lands in the Oklahoma Territory were opened for settlement during the famous Oklahoma Land Run. That adventurous spirit is still alive today and plays a major part in our culture.

As a city that constantly redefines itself, Oklahoma City's hip, spirited environment blends with its deep western heritage to create a place where culture and commerce thrive. From the National Cowboy Hall of Fame to the NBA’s newest franchise, the OKC Thunder, Oklahoma City prides itself on embracing its history while striving to grow.

With renowned festivals, national sporting events, treasure-filled museums and a variety of districts highlighting arts and entertainment, the possibilities for adventure and fun in Oklahoma City are endless.
