Midtown Walkabout celebrates 10th Anniversary in Oklahoma City

The annual Midtown Walkabout is set to return on Saturday, marking its 10th anniversary of bringing excitement and community spirit to Oklahoma City’s Midtown district.

From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., the event on Saturday will feature a full day of local shopping, entertainment, and activities for all ages, but event organizers say the celebration promises to be bigger and better than years past.

With exclusive in-store deals, a vendor market on Walker Avenue, and family-friendly events organized by the Midtown Association and Downtown Oklahoma City Partnership, the event will also showcase live music, food trucks and special promotions throughout the district.

“We’re honored to celebrate 10 years of Midtown Walkabout with our event attendees, residents, businesses, and employees,” Midtown District Manager Jakey Dobbs said. “This event highlights the vibrancy of our district and the amazing community that makes Midtown such a special place.”
