OLD TIMERS' DAY 2024

The City of Choctaw is thrilled to announce the revival of the Old Timers' Day Festival, set to take place on August 24th at Choctaw Creek Park. This year's theme is "Welcome Back." This event was a tradition in our community for many years and the festival is making a comeback in response to numerous requests from our citizens.

The festivities will kick off with the opening parade at 10 am, followed by a day filled with music, events, booths, activities, and food and drink vendors in the park. As part of the celebration, the Fire Department and volunteers will be selling hamburgers and hotdogs immediately after the parade to raise funds for the volunteer firefighters. The day will culminate with a dance starting at 8 PM.

We are currently seeking:

Sponsors
Vendors (including food and beverage vendors)
Entertainment (Bands, Singers, Dance Groups)

Informational/ educational/ activity booths could include things such as traditional crafts like basket weaving, beekeeping, blacksmithing, candle making, crocheting and knitting, doll making, embroidery, glassblowing, leatherworking, papermaking, pottery, quilting, rope making, silversmithing, spinning and weaving, wood carving, and woodworking.
