Oklahoma City International Auto Show

The Oklahoma City International Auto Show takes place each year in early March at State Fair Park. There are concept cars on display, plenty of great exhibits, a children's play area, skateboarding shows and more. See exotic, antique and muscle cars, and check out the Toyota Off-Road Adventure.
