Chickasha Festival of Freedom

Friday, June 26

7 p.m.

The Library invites the community to "Whispers from the Past," a special program dedicated to ghost stories from the past and the eerie folklore of Oklahoma. Moving beyond simple campfire jump-scares, this evening is designed for a mature audience, focusing on the atmospheric and psychological weight of local legends. Attendees can expect a journey through restless histories, local lore, and thematic narratives. These aren't just stories to make you look over your shoulder, they are a reminder that some mysteries are woven into the very fabric of our town and our pasts. Entry is free, but guests are encouraged to arrive early as space in the meeting room may be limited. 

Saturday, June 13, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Come and go

History will come to life at the Chickasha Public Library during the "Living Library: America Through the Decades" presentation. Local library youth will showcase interactive displays and live portrayals of iconic figures representing every decade of American history from 1776 to 2026. This immersive educational event offers a unique journey through the nation's past.
