Preparations for the 43rd Annual International Festival are underway at Elmer Thomas Park.

The festivities will kick off Friday, September 23rd at 5:45 p.m. with the Parade of Nations/Opening Ceremonies.

We have City employees, volunteers, Fort Sill soldiers and a contractor on site setting up for the event that will feature diverse live entertainment, two stages, over 50 vendors, an interactive area and a children’s area.

We would like to thank all of our volunteers and sponsors and are greatly appreciative of our Platinum Sponsors: The Lawton Fort Sill Chamber of Commerce, The Lawton Fort Sill Convention & Visitors Bureau, and Gold Sponsor: The McMahon Foundation. This project was supported in part by the Oklahoma Arts Council, which receives support from the State of Oklahoma and the National Endowment for the Arts.
