Uncover Hidden Art and Secret Screenings

As Oklahoma City settles into the second week of March, the local scene offers a mix of intrigue and exploration for residents and visitors alike. Today, Monday, March 9, 2026, is a perfect day to step away from the routine and engage with the city’s vibrant cultural offerings. From early morning interactive tours to mysterious evening film premieres, there is plenty to discover across the metro area.

Discover the Wild West in Downtown

The day begins with an opportunity for urban exploration. The Oklahoma City Scavenger Hunt: Wild Western Art kicks off at 8:00 AM, starting near 201 N Walker Ave. This interactive experience takes participants through the heart of the city to locate and learn about various works of Western-themed public art and historical landmarks. It is a fantastic way for history buffs and art lovers to see the city from a new perspective while engaging in a bit of friendly competition and discovering the stories behind the city's unique monuments.

Mystery and Suspense at the Cinema

For those who prefer the silver screen, tonight features a special event for moviegoers. The AMC Screen Unseen program is hosting a screening at participating local theaters. This unique event allows guests to purchase a ticket for a never-before-seen film without knowing the title until the feature presentation begins. With only the MPA rating provided in advance, it is a great choice for those who love the thrill of a surprise and want to be among the first to see a new release. Regular screenings of current hits like Hoppers and Scream 7 are also available throughout the day at major venues like Icon Cinema and Harkins Theatres Bricktown 16.
