A spectacular fireworks extravaganza ends the evening on both Friday & Saturday.
Athletes are invited to spend the weekend in downtown OKC enjoying the Bricktown Entertainment District. RIVERSPORT Adventures and Whitewater Rapids are open throughout the weekend with whitewater rafting and tubing, a six-story Sky Trail adventure course, a zip line across the river and high speed slides among other attractions. Families with younger children will be interested in the RIVERSPORT Adventure Youth Zone.
