The town is very family oriented and has many family friendly events throughout the year. The Rock'n Rumble is an event that takes place on Main Street where people cruise in their classic cars like they did when the town was first built. It is fun. People like the streets with their camping chairs and watch the cars go buy. They do Christmas Lights in the park that are beautiful. And you cannot forget the Chilli Cook Off in downtown or the Rattle Snack Round Up in Mangum. A fun fun time for the family.
The Chamber of Commerce is very active and stays current. You can find the events at:
