The Oklahoma Outback Art Festival is held in Granite, OK which is located 30 miles down under I-40. Now for you city folks and other out of towners the Oklahoma Outback has placed colorful guitars for you too follow once you get into town. The guitars will take you to the beautiful Girl Scout Camp Kate Portwood. It’s a good time to get out of the concrete jungle and retreat to the trees. While enjoying the scenery, and visiting with the Artists and Craftsman, there will be quite a variety of music for your listening pleasure all day (both days) and food to tickle your taste buds. Everything starts on Friday July 30th at 12 noon (or 11:30 ish) till 5 PM. On Saturday it kicks off at 8:00 AM with a Chuck Wagon Breakfast. Have you ever eaten breakfast the old WEST way? The biscuits cooked over the coals in deep Cast Iron pans and they are served with bacon, sausage and gravy and eggs so fresh the hens are still a squawk’n!!!! Tickets can be purchased at the Chuck Wagon or in advance at Willis Granite Products $8 for adults and $5 for the little buckaroos.

Lots of games for the youngsters, a 13’ tall inflatable Water Slide, Water Wars area complete with water balloons to help keep the kids cool. At the Kid’s Art House kids of all ages can express themselves with sand painting and help create a mural for this years Festival. There will be a granite playscape for them to create their own little cities, mountains or whatever their hearts desire.
