If your taste buds have been craving more than just the usual fair-fare, it’s time to head to St. Elijah Antiochian Orthodox Christian Church in Oklahoma City for the annual St. Elijah Mediterranean Food Festival. Their annual food festival is a two-day feast of Mediterranean delights and community fellowship. Think homemade Lebanese bread (Talami), cabbage rolls, hummus and tabbouli fresh from the parish kitchen—and don’t skip the decadent baklava or rice pudding for dessert. Beyond the plates, it’s a chance to soak in music, dancing, and the warm energy of folks gathering for more than just a meal. While admission is free, food items are available for purchase.
November 7-8. Admission, free. Food, a la carte.

Backstage mayhem meets classical comedy in the upcoming production of A Christmas Chaos at Southwest Playhouse in Clinton. This play within a play shows the audience what happens when a band of professional stage actors can’t show up to perform, forcing stagehands and thespians of lesser polish to throw together their own take on A Christmas Carol. The audience will be rolling with laughter as hijinks and slip-ups ensure. It’s the perfect way to kickoff the holiday season.
November 7-9 and 14-16. Tickets, $16-20.

Give your Saturday plans a little DIY flair and local charm with a trip to the eighteenth annual Arts & Crafts Expo at South Tulsa Baptist Church in Tulsa. This year’s vendor-filled event is a treasure trove of handmade goods—candles and quilts, woodwork and ceramics, artisan jewelry and gourmet treats—all supporting both local and international missions through the church. Set-up is Friday evening, but the main shopping happens Saturday with lunch concessions available so you can browse while you bite.
November 8. Admission, free.

It’s a pecan lover’s paradise in Oklahoma this weekend, with two major festivals celebrating the state’s favorite nut. Down south in Ardmore, the Oklahoma Pecan Festival takes over the Depot District with a full afternoon of live music, cooking contests, kids’ activities, and food trucks serving up everything from barbecue to pecan pie. As the sun sets on that Saturday, set your sights north toward Luther, where the Luther Pecan Festival keeps the nutty fun going all weekend long. There you’ll find more than a hundred artisan vendors, live bands, a Sunday car show, and sweets galore from local growers. Both fests are free to attend and promise small-town charm with big flavor. Whether you head to Ardmore, Luther, or both, it’s sure to be one deliciously nut-filled November.
Oklahoma Pecan Festival, November 8. Luther Pecan Festival, November 8-9. Admission for both, free.

Step back into 1863 and set foot on the very ground where the Battle of Honey Springs was fought, with this immersive weekend of combat, camp life and history-alive moments at the Honey Springs Battlefield near Checotah. The Battle of Honey Springs Reenactment makes its biennial return this weekend, and visitors will witness muskets fired, cavalry charges, and living-history encampments that bring Union and Confederate soldiers, including the Native American and African-American combatants that made this the most racially diverse battle of the war, into vivid relief. A perfect outing for history lovers, families and curious minds alike, the event offers a chance to stroll the battlefield where one of the largest Civil War engagements in Indian Territory occurred.
November 7-9. Admission, $10. okhistory.org
