Western Swing ~ Where It Belongs in Pawhuska, OK
We've Added a Night!
Join us at the Pawhuska Western Swing Festival on November 19 -21, 2026, and step back in time to the days when Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys brought the lively sounds of Western Swing to Whiting Hall in downtown Pawhuska, Oklahoma. Experience the rich musical heritage and celebrate the enduring legacy of this iconic American genre. We've added a THURSDAY NIGHT SPECIAL to kick off the weekend at Good Time Charlee's at 601 Kihekah Ave. in downtown Pawhuska from 7-10PM with George & His New Heartaches the evening of November 19th! Local businesses will be offering specials, so come shop, dine, and enjoy some good old fashioned western hospitality in Pawhuska! A weekend wristband gets you in the door!

Dance All Night ~ Dance A Little Longer
In Pawhuska, Oklahoma!
Did you know?
While Bob Wills had his Texas Playboys, and he may have had his San Antonio Rose -- it was Oklahoma that put the smile in his style and the "haw" in his chaw as he sang, "Take Me Back to Tulsa" from Pawhuska, Oklahoma in a little place called Whiting Hall!
Whiting Hall still stands on Kihekah Avenue downtown, and now houses county offices - BUT - the old tiles on the floor with musical notes engraved on them tell of yesteryear when the King of Western Swing walked those floors!
I guess you can take the Hall out of the dance, but you can't take the dance out of the Hall - Whiting Hall, that is!
