I’ve lived in several different cities around the United States during my lifetime, and never before have I seen any 4th of July festivities like the ones in Oklahoma. You people really, and I mean really, know how to celebrate Independence Day. So pull out your sparklers and red, white, and blue and get ready to go all out this year – you will have a full weekend of Independence Day options around the metro!
GUTHRIE
Red Brick Nights – Ok, ok, it’s not technically classified as a 4th of July event, but Red Brick Nights deserves a mention!! Red Brick Nights is back this year, but there will only be 3 events. On June 26, head out to Guthrie for the first Red Brick Nights in nearly two years! Food trucks and shopping pop-ups begin at 5:00 pm, and music by the Byron Berline Band begins at 7:00.
