Oklahoma Fancy Dancers to Perform at Conway Art Walk Friday, August 1st, 2025
Conway Art Walk returns to downtown Conway with an extra exciting lineup. Hosted by Create Conway, Conway Art Walk transforms downtown into an arts and entertainment festival with live music, food trucks, and interactive art experiences. This event will take place on Friday, August 1st, 2025, from 5-8 pm. Chestnut Street, between Oak and Van Ronkle will be closed to traffic to create the “Creative Cove,” a pedestrian zone where the public can participate in a variety of free, hands-on activities that offer something for all ages.
For the first time ever, the Oklahoma Fancy Dancers (Tulsa, OK) will be joining Conway Art Walk to perform a native Fancy Dance and Hoop Dance. The Oklahoma Fancy Dancers are a professional Native American dance troupe. The dancers are enrolled tribal members. All dances are performed in traditional native regalia and are sure to educate and entertain audiences of all ages. Performance times are 6:00 and 6:30 PM in Creative Cove.
