Oklahoma is recognizing the life and legacy of Toby Keith this summer. The state has proclaimed the late country legend’s birthday, July 8, as “Toby Keith Day.” Governor Kevin Stitt made the announcement during Oklahoma Music and Film Day at the state capitol.
“Born on July 8th, 1961 in Clinton, Oklahoma. He was raised in Moore and was later a resident in Norman, rising from humble beginnings to become one of the most successful, influential, and recognizable country music artists in American history…He remained deeply connected to his Oklahoma roots and proudly reflected the character, resilience, independence, and patriotism of our state through his music and through his steadfast support of the men and women of the United States Armed Forces, including numerous USO tours…I now proclaim July 8, 2026 as Toby Keith Day.”
