I'm not sure why this is rated so highly. Maybe it was better in past years?…read more Overall was not as fun and did not offer as much as we expected. 1. Hardly any vendors overall and only four food trucks. That said "Hot mess BBQ" was delish. 2. Band was average. First of all who hires a like semi hard core rock band for an outdoor summer festival? How about a fun cover band guys? 3. Band leader never STFU. He went on and on talking and rambling about the talent in the area and his journey. Like 20 mins of talking and then a song and then more talking 4. Bring a canopy, cooler, and chairs and get there fairly early to get a good spot.

Organizers have done an awesome job in the short time the festival has been alive in making it a family-friend but also adult-fun event. There are plenty of places along the river to watch all the crazy contraptions various Tulsans have built float by, and there's an awesome small festival ground with food, drinks and activities for the kids. Although the race is fun, the after party can be even better! Overall, a great event I look forward to watching grow as more and more Tulsans learn about it. Perfect Tulsa-flavored summer fun.

i was considering running to the attraction from the midtown residence where i'm living, but…read moreeventually decided to ask momma to bring me, and so we took the highway to downtown, getting off on the first exit coming south to north on the ba, and parking on archer st, the latter of which i liked because we got to walk through the symmetrical shady tree and concrete bench area before reaching the main center of the universe circle. and although the main center of the attraction is closed at the moment, with the city politely, somewhat sillily apologizing for any of its dust in the area, you can see the tall, skinny statue with what looks like a cloud on top of it and hear a faint echo if you yell something toward it, such as i did, letting that cloud statue know "tulsa has something to say." and really the intention contained in that statement, beside promoting a cool slogan about the city where i cameup, is to build upon the availability the center of the universe landmark offers for getting something off your chest to again offer a good phone number for me here in case there is something anyone needs to get off that chest without a outlet for where to do that: (539) 525-5464.

What, I wondered, might I find in this little spot that is rumored to have magical powers? Thankfully, the C of the U is well-marked by an enormous, spire-like metal map marker so it's easy to find. Once there, the actual COTU is marked by sort of a worn out circle of bricks and concrete that (tbh) probably needs a little sprucing up. According to local lore (and many Yelp reviews), you can stand in the center of this spot and speak, and nobody will hear you. Or your words will come back to you. Or something like that. I wasn't really sure what to expect. And to be completely honest with you, nothing happened when I tried. Maybe I did it wrong. There *were* people walking by, so I mostly muttered to myself, rather than yell out into the void. Yes, it's quite likely that fear of embarrassment caused me not to experience the magic and wonder that make the COTU what it is.

Great variety of beer for the average Joe, beer connoisseur and everyone in between (old enough to drink). In many cases, the brewers were present to discuss the beers and answer questions. We also appreciated the pizza and tacos available for purchase. I wouldn't have been able to finish strong without a snack, for sure. Great event for getting together with friends and meeting new people. Added bonus: the weather this year during the evening session was PERFECT! And the free tickets to the Roughnecks game were a greatly appreciated party favor, new this year!

Here are just a few jaw-dropping aspects of the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma:…read more With locations in Tulsa and McAlester, they provide food and other donated goods to 450 Partner Programs in 24 counties of eastern Oklahoma. These programs include emergency food pantries, soup kitchens, emergency shelters, after-school programs and senior citizen centers. Together, they provide more than 346,000 meals each week to people struggling with hunger. During Fiscal Year 2015 they distributed more than 21.6 million pounds of food. Empty Bowls is an epic annual event. This year there were 1,000 guests that celebrated all of the Food Bank's efforts and had a chance to contribute to the fight against hunger. With a live auction and silent auction, wine, jewelry and restaurant pulls, live painting, live music, cocktail hour and comfortable seating around tables and so much more the night couldn't have been better. The night's menu consisted of a quinoa tabbouleh on arugula salad, various options of soup (my favorite was the creamy chicken, wild rice & lemon!) and flourless chocolate torte or coconut custard meringue cup for dessert. The program was intentional and so sweet honoring Scott Lewis, a performance by the Tulsa Children's Chorus and stories on how life changing the food bank is for those in our community. This is an event I will prioritize to attend annually! So thankful for the Food Bank.

They had a fantastic live band playing as we were given plenty of time to review the silent auction items. In addition they had drawings for dream trips, pizza for a year, jewelry, and more. Something that I particularly wish I had participated in more was the restaurant pull. With your donation, you were able to pull a blind gift card for a local restaurant. Another great feature that I missed last year because it sold out so quickly was the wine pull. Again, for your donation, you were able to pull a blind bottle of wine and of the four that I purchased, three were really special. There was a prediction of intense storms that night so I was afraid of a lower attendance, but Tulsa stepped up and fill the hall. The food was exceptional and as a real soup lover, I thought it was the perfect menu. In fact, the wine that was served at the table was far better than I expected. I took a few pictures that i will try to upload. I hate to hit on the money too much but another great idea they were using this year was the integrated payment plan. You just had to vault a credit card when you register and then use your bidder number for everything you want. i assumed it would just hit the card and that would be it, but today I received a very nice email stating what I had purchased and a link to finalize the payment with an added opportunity to enhance the joy of giving at the same time. I have seen some real fiascos at some events and this provided a great comfort level that everything was as I remembered. The venue was very well appointed and convenient with free covered parking. Really, the entire event was smooth and very entertaining. I hope that I have convinced more of you to join us next year. i highly recommend it and when you see the number of meals that can be provided through your donations, it is really heart warming. I may be mixing stories, but I think I read that 96% of the contributions go directly to the food recipients. That is a phenomenal number, probably one of the highest in the nation.

It was a very cool experience and one that I'll be adding to my annual Tulsa traditions. I was very impressed. The lineup was awesome. Fortune Feimster from Chelsea Lately and Monroe Martin completely killed it. We liked it so much and had such a great time that we decided to purchase tickets to the 10:30pm show. My cheeks were hurting from all the laughing and smiling! There was a short break in between which gave us plenty of time to grab something to eat and then come back. I did feel a bit frustrated because their electronic system was down so they ended up not even checking our tickets. Felt like anyone that attended the 8pm show could've easily just walked right back in. I wasn't a huge fan of the 10:30pm lineup mostly because of my taste in jokes I guess. I'm one of those people that believe some things are just not funny nor appropriate, like joking about rape, molestation or pedophiles... I think it's insensitive to those that have been through a traumatic experience like that and it can be misinterpreted by others as undermining the seriousness of it. I don't think it's acceptable to use that as a butt of a joke unless the comedian is actually a victim themselves and have gone through it firsthand. If that's how they cope or deal with it all, then that's their right but I didn't know if that was the case. Others didn't seem to mind...(rant over). The late show was definitely more "raunchy", dark and morbid, which is good to know now (maybe this is common knowledge?). I did enjoy watching Ron Funches though and overall it was a good experience.
