Upcoming Special Events
The City of Tulsa maintains a Calendar of Special Events for
community events scheduled to occur on public property. Typically,
these events are community celebrations and festivals, parades and
athletic or recreational activities that are open to the public and
require a street closure. The information used to generate this
calendar is primarily obtained from details included on special
event permit applications that have been submitted to the City of
Tulsa.
Please note that information is added to the calendar from
special event permit applications as they are received and reviewed
by the City of Tulsa. Because the application submission time
requirement can be as short as sixty days prior to an event, many
special events are not listed until the month in which they are
scheduled to occur.
Events and recreational programs scheduled within city parks and
at recreation centers receive permits directly through the City of
Tulsa Park and Recreation Department and may not appear on this
calendar. Events at the BOK Center, ONEOK Field, HA Chapman
Stadium, Reynolds Center, Tulsa Performing Arts Center, Cherry
Street Farmer's Market and other similiar venues may not appear on
this calendar, including neighborhood block parties.
Review the Road Closure Map for event news
releases.
The Calendar is not intended to be used as a promotional vehicle
for private events or for events taking place on private or
commercial property even though the event may be sponsored by a
non-profit organization and open to the public. The City of Tulsa
reserves the right to determine the events and content included in
the Calendar of Events.
Thank you for using the City of Tulsa Calendar of Special
Events. We hope you enjoy the excitement, enthusiasm and diversity
of our city!
