Oklahoma is no stranger to Oktoberfest celebrations, but they don’t get any bigger than the Zeeco Oktoberfest Tulsa festivities. Enjoy delicious food, beer imported straight from Munich, high-flying carnival rides, live polka and German music, plenty of chicken dances, and much more. There’s a kids tent with activities for the kinder, and adults can entertain themselves with beer keg races, beer pong competitions, and wiener dog races. Sounds like something we can raise a glass to . . . or several.
October 16-19. Single day admission, $20.15. Passes and other entry available online.

Apologies to The Cranberries, but these are some zombies who won’t be “in your head.” Only the truly brave will survive a walk through the Lexington Zombie Farm in Lexington. Walk through the dark, natural setting and anticipate the inevitable jump scares that await. This is a no-touch haunted attraction, but you might be clutching at your own heart or gaping mouth from some of these encounters. All children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. You can find the Lexington Zombie Farm at 10101 144th Street in Lexington.
October 17-18 and Through November 1. Admission, $20.

Those who need help getting into the Halloween spirit need look no further this week than Oklahoma City’s Civic Center Music Hall, where Oklahoma City Ballet’s Dracula will bring a retelling of Bram Stoker's 1897 horror classic to life.

Live pecan harvesting is the main draw, but family fun abounds with bounce houses,hay rides, a baking contest, a silent auction, and dozens of on-site vendors.
