Thursday morning, Fred Hall talked about the event at the unveiling. He said, "Something special is going on in Oklahoma City. OKCFEST will be a kick-off party to celebrate Oklahoma City’s planned Core to Shore downtown park and new convention center and will give festivalgoers an exciting glimpse of what is possible in the years ahead as this event and downtown evolve together. Our event site is literally at the epicenter of these future transformational attractions for our city."
Mayor Cornett added, "The OKCFEST 2014 is a reflection of the incredible aspirational vision of our business leadership in Oklahoma City. The variety of the entertainment offering at the first annual OKCFEST 2014 shows the growing diversity of our community. As evident by the big plans for OKCFEST 2014, our city’s national and international standing as a place where arts and culture can flourish continues to grow."
The line-up for the event is stellar. On June 26, renowned jazz vocalist Steve Tyrell and his 8-piece band will kick-off the weekend with an exclusive Thursday night show for the festival underwriters, sponsors and their special guests at an independently ticketed show. On June 27, Dierks Bentley, Merle Haggard, Casey Donahew and Josh Abbott will perform with Lady Antebellum, Randy Rogers, Kix Brooks, and Scotty McCreery hitting the stage on June 28. More concerts and other entertainment events will be found on three nearby Myriad Garden stages. These events will be free to the public Friday through Sunday afternoons and evenings, with preferred seating at each stage reserved for those with OKCFEST passes.
One-day and two-day passes for the main stage event area go on sale on April 11th on the OKCFEST Festival Website. Tickets are $35 per day and $59 for two-day passes.
