There’s no doubt about it: May is festival month in the Sooner State.
In Tulsa, start with GermanFest, May 1-3 at 2301 E. 15th St., then head over to the Black Wall Street Rally, May 14-16 in the Greenwood District – packed with family-friendly events and the perfect stop for motorcycle enthusiasts. After, you can take a quick trip to Broken Arrow for the Rooster Days Festival, May 14-17 in Central Park, then circle back to Expo Square for Tulsa’s Route 66 Capital Cruise on May 28-30, as Oklahomans make a world-record attempt for the largest classic car parade in history. If you’re peckish after, the Jenks America Food Truck Festival runs May 30 on Main Street.
A hundred or so miles away, you can celebrate Norman Pride Festival Weekend on May 1-3 at various citywide locations, then head to OKC’s Scissortail Park for Kickin’ It on 66 – a celebration of the Mother Road and its exciting centennial.
