Spring Festivals

It’s spring, and you can almost smell the kolache in the air. Prague’s annual salute to Czech pastry isn’t the only place to find a celebration of art, food and outdoor festivities everyone in the family will enjoy. Bixby BBQ ‘n’ Blues Festival, May 3-4, brings the smoky goodness you’ve been craving since the Northern Hemisphere last rotated this close to the sun. There’s more grilled goodness to be had at Claremore’s Boots & BBQ Festival, May 10-11. Ethnic food is abundant. Check out Germanfest, May 3-5, with the German-American Society of Tulsa as well as the Prague Kolache Festival, May 4, plus Tabouleh Fest, May 11, with Bristow’s Lebanese community. Looking for all-American savory? El Reno’s Fried Onion Burger Day Festival is May 4. Let’s not leave out some of our favorites: The Stilwell Strawberry Festival is set for May 11 in the Adair County town. The Blue Dome Arts Festival paints T-Town May 17-19, while Utica Square blooms with color for Spring in the Square, May 18.
