The event began in 1986. It now attracts more than 12,000 participants and 27,000 attendees and has an annual economic impact of nearly $9 million.

“It's the largest event of its kind in the entire world,” Lt. Gov. Todd Lamb told The Oklahoman. “What a wonderful thing for Oklahoma to brag about and showcase in our great state.”

This year's fest takes place June 3-5 at the Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma City.
