The story

Paseo Arts Festival in Oklahoma City

The Paseo Arts Festival is a Memorial Day weekend event in Oklahoma City's Paseo Arts District, a historic Spanish Revival-style neighborhood lined with working artist studios and galleries. The festival opens studios to the public alongside outdoor booths, live music, and food vendors across the district's walkable streets.

Oklahoma City's Paseo Arts District occupies a stretch of Spanish Revival-style buildings dating to the 1920s, a neighborhood that fell into decline for decades before artists began moving into its available studio spaces starting in the 1970s, gradually rebuilding it into one of the city's most distinctive creative enclaves.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The Paseo Arts District is a genuine, functioning artist community, home to dozens of working studios and galleries housed in Spanish Revival-style buildings dating to the 1920s, which means the festival unfolds inside an actual arts neighborhood rather than a temporary fairground assembled for the occasion

02

The mystery stays covered

During the festival, resident artists open their working studios directly to visitors, giving attendees a chance to see art made in the same spaces year-round rather than only at booths set up for the weekend, a level of access that distinguishes Paseo from most outdoor art fairs held in parks or on closed streets elsewhere
