More than the Oklahoma Stage
Organizers say the Oklahoma Stage is only one part of the fair’s live offerings. The fair will present 57 additional performances across venues on the grounds, ranging from midday brass bands to intimate acoustic sets in the Wine Garden and International Beer Garden. Featured smaller-stage acts include the King Cabbage Brass Band’s special lunch-time set on Oct. 7 and an array of local and regional bands performing at spots like the Hard Rock Huddle and Carousel Club.
- International Beer Garden: Radio Nation, Dueling Pianos, Saint Boogie Brass Band and live acoustic performers.
- Hard Rock Huddle: regional rock and alternative bands, including Mingo Drive and The Bison.
- Wine Garden: singer-songwriters and quieter sets for fairgoers seeking a relaxed atmosphere.
Tickets and new options
Tickets are on sale for VIP seating at each Oklahoma Stage show as well as for other headline attractions such as Disney On Ice Jump In. The fair also introduced a new Golden Mega Pass, which bundles gate admission, unlimited rides and a midway express access option. Officials say the pass is intended to streamline entry for visitors planning to attend multiple days or bring family groups.
For Tulsa and northeastern Oklahoma residents, this lineup continues a trend of fairs and festivals booking diverse lineups to draw broader audiences and extend stays in the region. The mix of legacy acts and rising artists is likely to attract both longtime fair attendees and younger concertgoers traveling for specific performers.
Full performance schedules, ticket prices and purchase links are available through the Tulsa State Fair website and official ticket outlets.
