April 20, 2024

Every year, rain or shine, tens of thousands of people descend on the heart of downtown Sand Springs, Oklahoma for the annual Sand Springs Herbal Affair and Festival.

They come from all over Oklahoma and surrounding states. Some are fans of flowers, some of herbs, some of vegetables. Others come for the music, or the food, or the craft vendors. All leave happy and eager to come again the next year.

The Herbal Affair was founded in 1989 by Ruth Leib of Sand Springs Greenhouse, and attracted more than 800 visitors. Three decades later, the festival brings in nearly 30,000 individuals to the historic Triangle District. It is among the most successful herbal festivals in the State of Oklahoma, and it is imitated in countless communities throughout the region.

The beloved Sand Springs Herbal Affair and Festival will celebrate its 35th anniversary in 2024. The event will be held Saturday, April 20th from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., rain or shine.

The festival is focused around the Triangle Park in the downtown Box District and features more than 100 vendors of herbs, vegetables, garden décor, festival foods, art shows, local crafts, and more! 

Each year, the City of Sand Springs presents the Hometown Hero award to a local citizen. There are also live concert performances at the Triangle Park.
