Bixby - Northeast (Green Country) | ||||||||
Bixby, known as the "Garden Spot of Oklahoma," began as a small farming community, and major produce providers continue to attract a variety of shoppers. Conrad Farms, on 151st Street, west of Memorial Road is just one excellent place to find fresh produce. Bixby is also home to beautiful neighborhoods and recreational areas carved into the rolling green landscape. This growing community is quickly becoming a family festival destination. In May, the Bixby BBQ and Blues Festival attracts lovers of great BBQ. This event in Washington Irving Park, located just north of the Arkansas River on Memorial Road, mixes a BBQ competition, talented musicians, children’s activities and lots of great food! Visit www.bixbyrotary.com for more info. The fourth weekend in June brings the Green Corn Festival to downtown Bixby’s Charley Young Park. This event is packed with live music, a carnival, parade, street dance, arts and crafts, children’s activities and lots of freshly roasted corn! The Lavender Festival is also held in June at Lavender Hill Farm, located just south of Bixby on Highway 64 in Stone Bluff. This area is perfect for a weekend getaway, with shopping for arts, crafts, lavender plants, as well as tours of the farm. The nearby Stone Bluff Soap & Gift Shoppe is a perfect place to find home-made gifts. Visit www.lavenderhillfarm.net for more info. Bixby is home to two public golf courses and many charming parks.
