Kick off summer with Visit OKC’s Memorial Day and summer guides

By Chamber Staff / Lifestyle / May 20, 2026

Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer, and if you’re looking for things to do, Visit OKC has you covered.

The organization has released a dedicated Memorial Day weekend guide, highlighting top events, attractions and ways to explore the city during one of its busiest weekends of the year. From annual favorites like the Paseo Arts Festival to Western experiences at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, the guide offers a quick way to plan your long weekend.

But it doesn’t stop there.

Visit OKC’s broader summer guide is also live, serving as a go-to resource for everything happening across the city in the months ahead. Whether you’re planning ahead or just looking for something to do on a free weekend, the guide highlights festivals, outdoor activities, local districts and can’t-miss experiences throughout the season.

That includes getting out on the water at RIVERSPORT Rapids, exploring green spaces like Scissortail Park and Myriad Botanical Gardens, or spending time in districts like Bricktown, Midtown and the Plaza District.

To get started mapping out the holiday weekend or your entire summer, check out Visit OKC’s guides for a simple way to make the most of the season. Both resources are available online at VisitOKC.com.
