2022 International Festival

Friday - Sunday, September 23-25, 2022
Elmer Thomas Park, 3rd & NW Ferris Ave, Lawton OK

Lawton’s 43rd International Festival is a free, three-day, event to promote greater awareness and appreciation of Lawton’s diverse heritage.   This family oriented extravaganza is full of fun, food, children’s games and activities, demonstration artists, retailers, concerts and multicultural experiences that make the Lawton Fort Sill Community so unique.

This year’s festival will include amenities such as a children’s area, ATM, parking adjacent to festival grounds, restroom facilities, all of which are completely handicap accessible, and more!

Select programming is made possible in part by the Oklahoma Arts Council, which receives support from the State of Oklahoma and the National Endowment for the Arts. The Oklahoma Arts Council is the official state agency for the support and development of the arts. The agency’s mission is to lead in the advancement of Oklahoma’s thriving arts industry. The Oklahoma Arts Council provides approximately 425 grants to nearly 275 organizations in communities statewide each year, organizes professional development opportunities for the state’s arts and cultural industry, and manages the art collections at the Oklahoma State Capitol. More information is available at arts.ok.gov.

This project is also generously funded by Mid-America Arts Alliance, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the state arts agencies of Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas.
