A big annual event in Wichita Falls is getting ready to kickoff in a few days and here's everything you need to know.

For decades, The Texas Oklahoma Fair has been entertaining families the third week in September with a ton of activities. Kids look forward to the rides that takeover the MPEC and all that delicious fair food. I am sucker for the carnival games with the giant stuffed animals. Here is the schedule and prices for 2026.

The fair opens Wednesday at 6PM and will last until 10PM that night. The hours remain the same for Thursday and Friday as well. Saturday it will run from 1PM to 10PM. Admission is $10 into the fair that helps out several non-profits in our area. Tickets are $1 a piece for the rides and the rides typically cost 4-5 tickets. Many do the unlimited ride wristband for $30, but on Saturday the price increases to $35 for the extra five hours of the fair.
