"The Red Earth Native American Cultural Festival is going silver as it celebrates 25 years of showcasing American Indian dance, arts and culture in Oklahoma City.

The 25th Annual Red Earth Festival will again enliven the Cox Convention Center and downtown Oklahoma City Friday through Saturday with its famed dance competition, art market, youth activities and an improved Red Earth Run that will add a 10k course along with the 5k event. This year's festival also will mark a quarter-century of celebrating American Indian culture with special activities such as a birthday party, spotlight war dance and added star power in the parade.

“We've kind of envisioned it to be a homecoming for a quarter-century of Red Earth,” said Red Earth Inc. Deputy Director Eric Oesch. “We're recognizing all our previous award winners ... and we've invited back all our past ambassadors.”"
