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. The Festival kicks off on Thursday evening with a parade, free roasted ears, and an opening Ceremony in Charley Young Park. The Park is surrounded by food and craft booths and is the site of the festival’s live music, games, and contests. Just a hop and skip to the north is the carnival. On Friday afternoon, enjoy the Green Corn Talent Show for students 6 to 18 years old, hosted in Soul II Sole. On Saturday afternoon, play some Bingo in Crossroads Church, across the street from the park. The Bixby.Church Hospitality Suite, located in the HUB next door to the park, offers a place to cool off, get fresh water, and play some games.  There are also baby changing stations and a private nursing room for families with infants and toddlers. For more information, see the schedule and links below.
