The Oklahoma Czechs, Inc. proudly announces the 59th Annual Oklahoma Czech Festival, returning to downtown Yukon, Oklahoma, on Saturday, Oct. 4, 2025. One of the state’s largest and most cherished heritage celebrations, this free, family-friendly event brings Czech culture to life through music, dance, traditional attire (kroj), arts, food, and community spirit.

This year’s theme, “Czech Art,” highlights the many ways creativity has shaped and preserved Czech and Slovak culture for generations. From hand-embroidered kroj and symbolic folk imagery to music, dance, and performance traditions passed down through time, Czech art remains both a reflection of heritage and a living expression of community identity. Guests will experience how artistry flows through every aspect of Czech life, whether displayed by skilled craftspeople, in the details of traditional designs, or through storytelling woven into folk entertainment—revealing the enduring beauty and resilience of Czech and Slovak traditions.

For the first time in the festival’s history, festivities will begin with a Friday night kick-off. On Friday, Oct. 3, 2025, there will be a lively celebration under the big tent at the Oklahoma Czechs Inc. building located at N. 5th St. and Cedar Ave. in Yukon. From 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., Friday night visitors can enjoy the atmosphere of a traditional Czech pivo (beer) garden, complete with Czech beer brewed from authentic Czech hops by Anthem Brewery of Oklahoma City. Custom-labeled beer mugs, authentic Czech food, including kolaches, and live entertainment will round out the evening. The Masopust Polka Band and special guest performers will provide festive music, while the nearby Czech Festival carnival opens just east of the tent for added fun.

The celebration continues on Saturday, Oct. 4, beginning at 10 a.m. with the beloved parade down Main Street in Yukon, followed by a full day of vibrant cultural programming on two performance stages, expanded activities, and authentic experiences for all ages.
