  • Edmond History Museum Route 66 Blue Hippo Festival

    The Edmond History Museum is set to celebrate the Stephenson Park opening with the Route 66 Blue Hippo Festival, drawing inspiration from the area's beloved Blue Hippo landmark. Scheduled for June 15th at Stephenson Park and the museum, the event will feature a family-friendly mix of activities, performances, and crafts, all themed around the iconic Blue Hippo and the historic Route 66. Attendees can look forward to carnival games, trivia contests, and live music including blues and bluegrass, enhancing the festive atmosphere.

    Adding a unique twist to the event, competitions such as Hot Wheels races and Hungry Hippo battles will entertain participants, while artists create blue hippo art pieces live. The festival will also showcase blue classic cars, with visitors encouraged to explore the history behind the mysterious Blue Hippo that has been a local fixture since 1991. Festival-goers are invited to capture memories with a visit to the Blue Hippo for selfies and to browse through special blue hippo-themed merchandise available for purchase.
