Celebrate Halloween in Oklahoma City with an evening of illuminated costumes, live performances and music at Factory Obscura. The festivities begin with “The Procession,” a free outdoor march through Automobile Alley. Gather at 6:30pm as the procession departs at 7pm. Bells, chimes and glowing costumes are encouraged. Performers include Deonna Marie, Kae Neal, Mars the Musician, Jarvix and Hooplahoma. After the procession, join the costume contest outside the Mix-Tape boombox, with categories including Best Use of Light, Best Unconventional Material, Best Group Costume and Best Overall.

This Halloween, the entire OKANA Resort will transform into a frightfully fun destination for guests of all ages as OKANA’s Boo Bash offers the perfect blend of sweet treats and spooky thrills. Grab a trail map and visit candy stations across the resort. Keep the fun going with pumpkin painting, a slime bar, face painting and a live DJ. Meet a fortune teller and magician, enjoy festival games and inflatables, and brave the family-friendly haunted house. Come dressed to impress (or terrify) for a chance to win a waterpark pass in the Best Adult, Best Kid, or Best Family costume categories.

This Gumbo Cook-off is an annual fundraiser hosted by the Norman Mardi Gras Society. All proceeds go towards helping fund the 2027 33rd Norman Mardi Gras Parade. The parade theme this year is Oceans of Legends!
We are looking for cooks to compete and people to come taste and judge the gumbo dishes. There will be door prizes/raffle drawings and live music.
