In addition to the music, the unique family-friendly event will feature a special children's fair area, classic cars and motorcycles, and a mix of entertainers including clowns, stilt walkers, skydivers and jugglers and helicopter rides. A wide variety of food is also available, including barbeque and smoked meats, which are a specialty of the region.

"This is how we celebrate America's birthday in the oil patch of Oklahoma!" states Rick Sellers, President of Keystone Gas and festival producer. "Plan to come and stretch out on your lawn chair with a cold one and enjoy some of Oklahoma's and America's finest musical talent!"
