Will Rogers Days and Motion Picture Festival

The Will Rogers Memorial Museum (WRMM) and Birthplace Ranch will celebrate the 144th birthday of Oklahoma’s Favorite Son with the Will Rogers Motion Picture Festival. From November 1 through 4, four days of activities will be held to honor the memory of the Cherokee cowboy, philosopher, and movie actor who had starred in 50 silent movies and 21 talkies by the time of his death on August 15, 1935, in an Alaska airplane crash.

The multi-day event will wrap up on November 4, when organizers honor the motion picture festival’s top filmmakers at the Dog Iron Awards Ceremony.
