The City of Choctaw is thrilled to announce the revival of the Old Timers' Day Festival, set to take place on August 24th at Choctaw Creek Park. This year's theme is "Welcome Back." This event was a tradition in our community for many years and the festival is making a comeback in response to numerous requests from our citizens.
Old Timers' Day has always held a special place in the hearts of the community, and this year's celebration marks an important milestone as the festival returns, coinciding with the commemoration of Choctaw's founding - 131 years as an incorporated city!
