I attended on a super rainy, chilly day and I was beyond impressed with the commitment of all the…read morevendors! They all had amazing handmade items, including cute dragon toys that I bought for my kids. 405 Brewery was there and I tried their frozen Pineapple Lemonade that warmed me right up! I had an amazing time!

The Med Fair is a Norman tradition. I was very excited to go this year after a 20 year hiatus since…read moreI moved out-of-state. I am back and I wanted some nostalgia. While, it is a big event, it really wasn't the same at all. It used to be at OU Duck Pond and it's now at Reaves Park. I'm pretty sure it had to move away from the duck pond because of parking issues, but parking was not much better at Reaves. Unless you go very early in the morning while everything is being setup, expect to park in a galaxy far far away. At least it's free parking. The entrance is awkward. You will see the jousters on the outskirts (this is not a design flaw imo because you can't forget where they are) then you wind around a million porta potties and it's like your switchbacking until you finally cross into a clearing filled with booths. It's not quite big enough for the amount of pedestrian traffic there is but I was relieved that the fair hadn't been reduced to an extremely long sidewalk sale. My favorite part is watching the blacksmiths and other artisans who make stuff right of you. I love seeing the Medieval characters that people dream up and prance around in. I love the Human Chess Board and the Mermaids are still there, even though there is no water for them to lay around in. Food vendors are pricy, make sure you know exactly what you want or eat before you go. There is no price for parking or entry so any money you spend is going directly to food trucks or the individuals selling their goods.

It's Friday date night! Also it's the Big guy's birthday weekend! We started with dinner and later…read moredrove to Norman to experience our first music festival in downtown. Parking: plenty of places to park for $10 and if you are familiar with Norman (my son is a OU graduate) you can find free parking in the area! Kids: lots of college kids out as well as small kids tagging along with parents as they had a carnival with rides, games and the standard carnival food! Music Stage: The stage was positioned perfectly at each end of Main Street and the vendors were all in between the stages on the sidewalk and set ups in the street. I can't say I knew any of the bands but if you got a good beat I can dance to anything (which I did)! Boy did I see a lot of beer vendors (which is good) but I was disappointed to not see any local winery's representing. Maybe next year! Food: Restaurant and bars were open along Main Street and there was plenty of cotton candy, peanuts and corn dogs from vendors! Crowd: the crowd for a Friday night was just right. Not to small or too big. It's a great free event for families, singles, couples and solo outings. Great job Norman

We have went since the very first yr it was held always a blast can't wait until next yr!read more

We saw a post about this on FB 3 years ago and, since then, visiting here has become our new…read moretradition. The spectacular lights and sound show is approx. 30 mins. We'd go armed with a flask of hot tea to stay for 2 rounds as our drive is about an hour. Thank you Downs family for your generosity and kindness in opening your front yard to the public as the free show gives so much joy to everyone. They do accept donations for the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma in the form of canned foods and cash so we always make sure to shop before we head there. I've also read somewhere that the family has been doing the display since 2007 without professional help. They've also been featured on ABC's reality TV show "The Great Christmas Light Fight". Truly one of Oklahoma's seasonal best! A MUST SEE!!!

so beautiful and impressive. great for a cute date or the family. everyone parks in the grass andread more

This is a short, but very cute and family friendly parade that takes place during Mardi Gras in…read moreDowntown Norman every year. Lots of people bring their dogs and lawn chairs. All of Main St is shut down. Fun for all ages. It's not New Orleans, but it's a free event and all are included. Come early and prepare to find parking because you can't drive on Main Street.

We had an amazing time!! The kiddos loved every ride we went on. The slushy drink was delicious!…read moreTrain rides along with hayride was a lot of fun you get to see more of what attractions they have. They have lots of photograph areas that are absolutely adorable!! The corn maze was short and fun! Definitely bring your own water bottles bc you will get so thirsty with having so much fun!! The only issue we had was grouchy employees at the new ride attraction. You definitely have to be a kid loving person to work in a place like this. Definitely will be back for the 3rd time!
