Garth Brooks Itinerary

Garth Brooks Itinerary

Drive into Yukon and you’ll be greeted by a soaring water tower proclaiming this small Oklahoma town as the “Home of Garth Brooks.” This is just one stop of many on this road trip that will give Garth Brooks fans the true Garth experience. While in Yukon, see the school where the country star made kolaches for the annual Czech Festival and stop in for a haircut at the same salon Garth’s mom used to frequent for a new style. Make your way to Stillwater and hit the dance floor where Garth worked as a bouncer during college. Later, snap a photo at the humble yellow house Garth called home with his first wife Sandy before traveling to the local bar where the country music superstar finally mustered the courage to play his first gig.
