National Weather Festival

Experience the power of weather at the National Weather Festival. 

Each fall, the University of Oklahoma’s National Weather Center opens its doors for a one-of-a-kind community event. The National Weather Festival brings together meteorologists, researchers, storm chasers, and weather enthusiasts for a day filled with discovery and fun. 

From weather balloon launches and drone demonstrations to hands-on kids’ activities and food trucks, there’s something for all ages. Guests can also explore the National Weather Center’s world-class facilities, including research vehicles, forecasting tools, and cutting-edge equipment. 

Whether you’re fascinated by severe weather, curious about the science behind forecasting, or simply looking for a fun day out, the National Weather Festival is a must-experience Norman tradition.
