Recreation Native American celebrations include the Comanche Tribal Fair , an annual fall even held the first weekend in October which brings together Native American tribes from all North America. The three-day event features traditional Native American activities including horse racing, fire dancing, hand games, story telling and dancing. The dance competition, a major part of the fair, is perhaps the most colorful event. The Spirit of the Southern Plains is a Native American full cultural experience held at the Great Plains Coliseum, located on Sheridan Road just north of Lee Boulevard.
Artisans demonstrate traditional craft skills such as bead work, finger weaving and flute making.
Vendors offer a variety of fine art and craft wares for sale. Arts for All is southwest Oklahoma's largest and most popular cultural event. Drawing over 40,000 people, it features visual artists, nonstop entertainment and tempting foods. More than 200 artists and area groups entertain visitors with a diversity of visual and performing arts. Arts for All is scheduled for early May each year, at Shepler Park, south of Gore Blvd.
