Daytime activities will be presented inside and around the festival’s “hub,” the Oklahoma Czechs Building at 5th and Cedar.

After the new royalty is announced, attention will shift to Yukon Czech Hall at 205 N Czech Hall Road.

A Czech Festival dance and royalty coronation ball, featuring music from the Masopust Polka Band and Bohemian Knights, will be staged from 5:30 p.m. to midnight at the historic landmark.
