Iconic Rogers County Fair Returns September 15-18th

Enjoy thrilling carnival rides, games, food, entertainment and agiculture

The Rogers County Free Fair is a celebration to signal the transition from summer to fall. A Rogers County tradition since 1914, this free fair will take you back to simpler times while you browse through handcrafted products, arts, cooking, animal exhibits, horticulture, and more. Attend a livestock show, browse numerous vendors, and bring the kids to the fair’s popular children’s area, featuring plenty of fun activities. Climb aboard a thrilling midway ride and dine delightfully on plenty of fair foods. Are you imagining the smells of kettle corn and turkey legs lingering in the air?

There will be lots to see and do!
