In Bixby, OK, the biggest event of the summer is the annual GREEN CORN FESTIVAL. Held in June in downtown Bixby, it is a true “community celebration” dating back to the area’s agricultural heritage. Charley Young Park is the site of on-going live music throughout the festival. The park is surrounded by food and craft booths and is the site of most of the festival’s games and contests. Just a hop and skip to the north is the carnival. Cool off during the heat of the day Saturday afternoon by joining in a few games of Bingo at the Bixby Community Center.
