Doc Holliday Festival

Join us on April 27th, 2024 for our next Doc Holliday Festival. 

Did you know the famous Doc Holliday had a dentistry office in Downtown Denison?! Life was a little different here back then! Come experience the boomtown of Denison in the 1870-80's at the annual Doc Holliday Festival. This event features authentic old west reenactors, gunfights, authors, historians, wild west photo ops, wagon rides, kids activities, a petting zoo, an old fashioned parade, antiques fair, the Hootin' Hollerin' Beard & Mustache Contest sponsored by Texoma Barbers, a costume contest, food, live music, and more. A fan favorite is the Artist Village located in the SNAP Center, which hosts artists demonstrating period work, spoken word performances, genealogy research, and children's crafts. Be sure to visit the 700 Block of Main Street for the Frontier Village Encampment featuring reenactors, blacksmithing, woodworking, black pot cooking, live music and demonstrations by the Choctaw Cultural Outreach! Don't miss out on the fun of days gone by!
