What the Heck is Happening in Ponca?!! July 4 – July 10 Edition

Your weekly roundup of events, oddities, and reasons to leave the house.

Happy Birthday, America! 🎆 And nothing says “land of the free” quite like lawn chairs, pancakes by the runway, and debating whether that tomato is “heirloom” or just weird. Whether you want to kayak at sunrise like a nature influencer or just stand next to a vintage Mustang while sipping gas station coffee and pretending it's artisanal, Ponca City's got you covered this week.

So slap on your sunscreen, fill your cooler with responsible beverages, and get ready for a week full of sparkles, bacon, and awkward small talk at the Farmers Market. Let’s do this, Ponca.

🇺🇸 Friday, July 4

Summer Concert Series @ Lake Ponca Park
1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
It’s like Coachella… if Coachella had lawn chairs, fewer influencers, and a strong chance of someone grilling hot dogs nearby. Local bands will rock the lake while you soak up the sun and pretend your cooler is a VIP lounge. BYOB (Bring Your Own Blanket… or Beverage… we’re not judging).

4th of July Fireworks @ Lake Ponca Park
9:30 PM – 10:30 PM
The sky is about to go full Michael Bay, minus the budget and explosions of questionable plot value. Tune into KPNC or KLOR for a perfectly timed soundtrack as the night sky does its sparkly thing. Be sure to come early to grab your perfect viewing spot!

The classic fireworks show lights up the sky at 9:50 PM, choreographed to KPNC 100.7 FM or KLOR 99.3 FM. Boat lovers, note: buoys block the launch area after 7 PM—stay safe and enjoy!
