The Choctaw Nation’s annual Boom in the Valley celebration will return July 3 with a new twist as hundreds of illuminated drones take to the Tvshkahomma sky.

For years, Boom in the Valley has been a summertime tradition, bringing together tribal members and guests to celebrate Independence Day weekend with activities, entertainment and a fireworks show.

This year, instead of fireworks, organizers are introducing a drone light show featuring at least 400 drones that will illuminate the night sky with choreographed formations and vibrant displays.

The event is open to the public and begins at 6:30 p.m., with gates opening at 5:30 p.m. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets and enjoy an evening of family-friendly activities before the show begins at dark.

The Event will take place at the Tvshka Homma Capitol Grounds Council House Rd Tuskahoma, OK 74574

Activities include:

  • Food Vendors
  • Bubbles Foam Machine
  • Chalk Painting
  • Free Play Cornhole`
  • Karaoke
  • Stickball and Rabbit Sticks Activities
  • Emergency Services Vehicle Tours
  • Dunk Tank

Boom in the Valley continues to provide an opportunity for families to gather, celebrate and create lasting memories while enjoying one of Choctaw Country’s signature summer events.
