Two hours about enough for them to hit most activities --and for us as we chased them from activity to activity over the spacious plot.

For locals, this is an annual family fall event. .

Not sure he was impressed.) Many great places to stop in for a beverage (or snack) along the way.

As a kid, this holiday truly helped me grasp the concept of death and taught me not to be afraid of it, focusing instead on the celebration of life and the good memories of those that go before us. It's amazing to me to be able to find this here in Tulsa! Living Arts has been hosting this festival for over 20 years! Admission is $5 (cash only) and children 12 and under get in for free. The lineup for the festival is truly remarkable. It is an opportunity to showcase local, regional and international artistic talent. The most recent addition was Jorge Rojas performing his "Tortilla Oracle" - think Hispanic version of reading tea leaves (how awesome is that?!). Inside the gallery, you can walk around admiring the 50+ altars that were set up, the reading of the Calaveras, get your face painted to look like a catrina, get churros and champurrado, as well as witnessing the blessing of the altars. Outside, you can get yummy food, buy unique merchandise from the vendors and enjoy the wide array of music, dance, and other performers like: Interactive Puppet Theater with Flying Heart Theatre, Eleganza Musical: Latin ballads, Miguel y Los Coyotes: Caribbean Jazz & Latin fusion, Sol Azteca: Aunthentic Mexican dance, the Skeleton Parade, Braxus Santana: Santana Tribute Band, Tulsa Latin Style: Latin Jazz & Salsa, EkuBembe: Latin drummers & Latin fusion with Fire Dancers, Ballet Folklórico Tonátiuh, Hot Club: Gypsy & Flamenco, Mariachi Tulsa: Traditional & popular Mexican music and more! There are also great activities for kids, like sugar skull painting, loteria, and more! My favorite thing is to admire the murals. Huge shout-out to KSQ Design for allowing to extend the Mural Corridor onto the North side of their building! The artists are just amazing and it is wonderful to be able to recognize them for their work.

An incredible cultural experience that brings together people across Tulsa…read more Dia de Los Muertos is a combination of culture, art and celebration with a low entry fee ($5 donation) and a lot to see. The murals on the wall are repainted each year and celebrate death, those who have died and our interaction with death. While this could seem very morbid, Living Arts does a great job of making this event a celebration with food, drinks and plenty of opportunity to check out altars submitted by people from across town celebrating the lives of those lost in the last year. There are lots of booths to buy awesome handmade wares, local entertainment and a blessing of the altars with a priest and dancers moving through the altars. There are lots of kid friendly activities but this is also super fun for adults. I would highly recommend for anyone interested in cultural events and learning more about our city and the people in it!

It is usually the first Thursday in June from 6 - 10 pm. It is a cocktail party where guests have access to the top floor or rooftop of many Downtown Tulsa buildings that are otherwise closed to the public. At each building, there are beautiful views and live music to enjoy while eating delicious hors d'oeuvres, cocktails . Last year they had an app and an online map that had information about each building, including food and entertaining details as well as building information (when it was built, architect, etc), as well as which CSC program was hosting. It was also raining and it was still super fun! The event goes on rain or shine, so we just grabbed an umbrella and made the best of it. The tickets are in the form of wristbands to gain access to the buildings and you get drink tickets for selected locations. You get to choose which venue to begin your evening and in which order you would like to proceed. Within each building, there is a sign and staff showing the appropriate floor for that venue. Last year, buildings included the Philtower Patio, BOK Tower, Petroleum Club Building, First Place Tower, Reunion Center and Hyatt Regency Tulsa. They also have VIP venues available, last year it was the MidContinent Tower and the Tulsa Club Hotel (VIP). VIP venues open at 5:30 pm. The proceeds from the event will benefit CSC's work, which together across six division areas and 30 programs, strives to improve the lives of Oklahomans in need through research, planning and action.

Thankfully mother nature threw her hissy fit early enough in the day, to make for a beautiful night for this event. This was a mini date night for the hubby and I(those are rare and far between for us). We enjoyed some great food from Afrikan Delights, Sweet Shack. The dinner i had included fried plantains, 4 pc chicken wings perfect done, green creamy sauce, and Hibiscus beverage. Then hubby got himself a shaved ice (cherry) from Sweet Shack. I walked around for a bit after dinner to walk off what I had(i picked up some gluten free pumpkin muffins from another vendor, can't wait to try those) . I stopped by the sweet shack as well and picked up an Oklahoma Sunset shaved iced(there was a 30 minute wait to receive my order. Here's the irony, they had the shortest line). We finished our lanterns and waited for the launch. I went down to "launch" the lanterns(which was tossing them in. I wish they a mini dock or foot bridge on the edge of the lake to stand on to launch from). We met a few people that sat near us, where we were and they made mention that there could be more of a selection of food trucks next time(more than 4. Because they were all getting slammed and wait times were getting nuts). We could hear them music and comments from the stage, but not clearly. We could not even see where the stage was. We had to guess and aim our chairs in that direction. We also noticed that in the cornhole area there was no sanitizer for people's hands between rounds( they might consider a way to have a rain liner for each set up, because people were coming back with mud monster hands after they played). All and all it was a great event and we are looking forward to next year's, barring weather.

I hope they do something about that because we bought passes for the summer and I plan on going at least two or three times a week. The times that we had at the drive-in.
