National Weather Festival

The National Weather Festival is the largest event hosted by the National Weather Center, attracting over 4,000 guests annually. The NWF features many weather-related organizations, such as the National Weather Service, Oklahoma Mesonet, Storm Prediction Center, and broadcast meteorologists from local news channels.

The National Weather Festival is a family event with fun educational activities for all ages. There will be lots to see, including helicopters, emergency vehicles, hourly weather balloon launches, and drone demonstrations by our research partners. 

The NWF is a fun and free event that will run from 10am to 2pm. Please join us on Saturday, October 26th, for the 2024 National Weather Festival.
