Community events run the gamut in Oklahoma this month.
In Tulsa, venture downtown on June 6 for the First Friday Art Crawl, or head to Expo Square that same weekend for the exciting Mecum car auction. Stick around the venue for the Route 66 Road Fest – a one-of-a-kind celebration that walks you through the history, attractions, characters and fun of the Mother Road – running June 21-22. Fans of Tulsa’s architectural secrets should take the Tulsa Foundation for Architecture Tour on June 7 in downtown Tulsa, and other goodies include the Tulsa Juneteenth Festival, June 18-21 in the Historic Greenwood District, as well as Florigami in the Garden exhibition, running through Sept. 21 at Tulsa Botanic Garden.

Then, take the whole family out to Myriad Botanical Gardens for the Spark Summer Movie Series, with kid-friendly screenings on June 4, 11, 18 and 25. If you’re looking for a unique way to celebrate dad, visit the Father’s Day Cruise on the Oklahoma River on June 15, or venture to downtown Tulsa for the deadCenter Film Festival, running through the 15th as well.
