The experience
What's special
Dusk Til Dawn Blues Festival is held each Labor Day weekend at the Oklahoma Blues Hall of Fame in Rentiesville, Oklahoma, and has run there since 1991. The name comes from the schedule: music runs late into the night and finishes around 5 am. The 2026 edition runs from 4 to 6 September with about 50 bands, mixing local Oklahoma talent and international acts.
How it works
In 2026 the festival runs Friday to Sunday, 4 to 6 September, from 5:00 pm to 5:00 am each night. Gates open at 4:00 pm, music starts at 4:00 pm inside the club and two outside stages start at 5:00 pm. Admission in 2026 is $25 per night, with kids under 12 free. Attendees are asked to bring chairs or blankets unless they come early, and coolers, pets, weapons and carry-in drinks or food are not allowed. Volunteers who work a three-hour shift get in free that night.
Who it suits
Kids under 12 are admitted free in 2026. The line-up is top local and regional blues talent from seven states, with an after-hours jam running until 5 am on the Friday and Saturday schedule.

Getting there
Nearest airport TUL.
How do I get to Dusk Til Dawn Blues Festival?
By car
Most people drive to Dusk Til Dawn Blues Festival. The nearest major airport is TUL, and from there it is a straightforward drive to the venue. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
No direct passenger rail to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
By bus & public transit
No fixed-route transit reaches Rentiesville, and KATS does NOT connect to Tulsa airport, listed only as the sole public transport that exists locally. KATS is a dial-a-ride, curb-to-curb service open to the public in McIntosh County (Checotah office), weekdays 8am-5pm only, so it cannot cover the festival's evening/overnight hours; in-town fares from $1, out-of-town priced by mileage. Realistically useful only for a daytime supply run to Checotah or Muskogee if you are already staying in the area.
Book / infoTaxi & rideshare
The only door-to-door option without renting a car. Uber and Lyft pick up from the designated zone on the TUL Arrivals Roadway curb (upper level, across from baggage claim, right lane behind the taxis). Rentiesville is ~63 miles / ~70 min south via the Muskogee Turnpike (OK-351 toll) and US-69. Getting a return ride OUT of Rentiesville at 5am when the stages close is unreliable, drivers are scarce in rural McIntosh County, so pre-arrange a return or stay in Muskogee.
Book / infoTaxis and rideshare such as Uber and Lyft can be limited near the venue, especially late at night or in rural areas. Agree a pickup point and time in advance and keep a backup plan.
🅿 Parking
Cost No parking fee published anywhere; admission is $20/night per person and festival-authored copy describes parking on the venue grounds lot, with campers/RVs directed to the NW corner of the lot for free, free parking is the reasonable reading but is not explicitly stated. Rural venue with its own grounds lot at the Oklahoma Blues Hall of Fame (103020 D.C. Minner St). Festival-authored newsletter: campers may 'park in the NW Corner of the lot' free. TravelOK (state tourism, official) lists 'Bus/Motorcoach Parking' among amenities. No prepay platform, no rideshare-only zone, no overflow policy published.
