After a truly electric basketball season that saw the OKC Thunder in the NBA finals, it’s time to wave goodbye to b-ball and immerse ourselves in other sporting options this summer.
In Tulsa, the Drillers take ONEOK Field throughout the month of July. Additionally, you can enjoy the Pony of the Americas National Congress, July 4-11, the ABRA World Show, July 13-19, and the NRCHA Hackamore Classic, July 21-27, all at Expo Square. Football fans should also venture to the BOK Center to watch the Tulsa Oilers take on teams at home on July 12 and 19.
OKC’s sporting events are a mixed bag. Begin with the 2025 National and Youth World Appaloosa Horse Show, running through July 3 at the OKC Fairgrounds. Then, venture to Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark for the OKC Comets baseball games throughout the month of July. Next are sunrise and sunset paddles in downtown OKC courtesy Riversport OKC, running July 9 for sunset and July 19 for sunrise. Lastly, the PBR Wildcatter Days bullriding event launches into the Paycom Center from July 11 to 13.
Around the state, you can enjoy the International Finals Youth Rodeo, July 6-11 at Shawnee’s Heart of Oklahoma Expo Center; the Norman Conquest Ride, July 12 starting at the J.D.. McCarty Center; the Cavalcade Rodeo, July 15-20 at Pawhuska’s Osage County Fairgrounds; and Pawnee Bill Memorial Rodeo, July 24-26 at Pawnee’s Lakeside Arena.
