Sorghum Day Festival at Wewoka, Oklahoma 

The Sorghum Day Festival is held each fall on the 4th Saturday of October.  It will be on the 24th of October this year. 

The festival features the making of sorghum molasses using 19th century equipment for this process, approximately 100 

booths including vendors, showmen, exhibits, Native American crafts demonstrations, and of course, food booths. 

We can explore the Seminole Nation Museum, see the Semi- nole Tribal Law “Whipping Tree,” learn about the “oil boom” 

days of the 1920s–40s, the Wewoka (Barking Water) Creek, the “Wewoka Switch” which was a major shipping hub for trains. 

The Seminole County Court House (pictured above) was the site of the first services held to start a Nazarene Church in 1929. 

We will travel in private cars (sharing expenses). There is no charge to attend the festival.
