According to the Oklahoma History Center, this festival is designed to engage visitors with opportunities to experience other cultures and traditions where visitors participate in the activities, not just observe.

The community-wide event will celebrate and recognize what the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress has called “the everyday and intimate creativity that all of us share and pass on to the next generation.” The “creativity” mentioned will come in the form of dancing, singing, crafts, food and more.
