International Festival 2023

Friday - Sunday, September 22-24, 2023
Elmer Thomas Park, 3rd & NW Ferris Ave, Lawton OK

Lawton’s 44th 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 unique.

This year’s festival will include amenities such as a children’s area, ATM, parking adjacent to festival grounds, restroom facilities, all 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 supporting and developing 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 the Mid-America Arts Alliance, the National Endowment for the Arts, and Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas state arts agencies.
