**Drag Me to Oklahoma **

The state of Oklahoma isn’t currently ruled by monarchy, but that may change when RuPaul’s legendary drag queens come to town.

RuPaul’s Drag Race: Werq the World stops in Oklahoma for one night only, so don’t miss your chance to rub sequined shoulders with royalty. September 12. Tickets, $52-$162. rose.edu

Online Felines

Why spend the evening browsing cat content from your couch when you can do it in the great outdoors? Catch your favorite viral felines on the big screen at the Philbrook Museum of Art gardens during this year’s Internet Cat Video Festival. To break up the whiskery watch party, the Philbrook also offers free admission to the museum for all festival attendees. September 13. Tickets, Free-$12. philbrook.org

Taking It to the Screens

Get cultured with cinema of all sorts at Norman Film Festival 3. The Sooner Theatre, Opolis, and Bison Witches Bar will screen pictures from local artists as well as international auteurs, providing an eclectic sampler of new films and Norman nightlife. The festival is all ages and totally free, which makes it perfectly acceptable to splurge on local brews and heaps of popcorn. September 13-14. Admission, Free. normanfilmfest.com

Okarchefest Tuns Twelve

The 12th Annual Okarchefest promises to be a city-wide party with a positive impact. Benefitting the Okarche Educational Foundation, the festival will kick off early with a Mad Dash 5K at 9 a.m. For those less partial to early morning exercise, the festival’s food court and craft show will dole out goodies all day long. Live entertainment is scheduled to start at 4 p.m. with the Wight Lighters headlining later in the evening. September 14. Admission, Free. okarchefest.org/

Rising Stars

Downtown Stillwater is the place to be if music, food, and drinks sound like a solid trio. Music on Main allows emerging artists a chance to show the Oklahoma music scene what they’ve got. Audience members can digest the weekend’s tunes and locally-crafted tastes over a stroll through the Iron Monk beer garden. It’s an event guaranteed to fill the senses—all the way to the brim. September 14-15. Tickets, Free-$15. visitstillwater.org/

Tasty Yolks for Flexible Folks

If you’ve never attempted Havasana pose with a mouthful of hashbrowns, now is your chance! Lawton’s Mimosa Mountain Co. is opening its doors to seasoned foodies and yogis of all skill levels. Yoga & Brunch is an event for those in need of relaxation—via meditation or maybe just a few mimosas. Bring a yoga mat, a hearty appetite, and your stretchiest pair of pants. September 15. Admission, $20. facebook.com
