Visit Tulsa

La Fiesta de Tulsa 2026 was one to remember! 🎊
One of the largest celebrations of Hispanic Heritage in Oklahoma, this year brought thousands of attendees to Tulsa’s vibrant Global District for a community parade, live entertainment, authentic cuisine, and one of the festival’s most meaningful traditions in the Grito de Indepencia.

You can’t think of Route 66 without thinking of a road trip. Philbrook Art & Gardens’s new exhibit, “Roadside Abstractions: Route 66 & American Modernism,” asks you to experience American art the way you’d experience the open road: with a sense of adventure. 
The show features 50+ American artists including Georgia O’Keeffe, Grace Hartigan, Morris Louis, Helen Frankenthaler, Andy Warhol, Ed Ruscha, and Barkley Hendricks.
As the Mother Road opened up a new world for Americans to travel cross-country, these artists were paving a new trail of American abstract art.

Not everyone wants a “go-go-go” vacation, writes Emily Caldwell in her piece, “The 6 best places to unplug: U.S. analog travel destinations.” (You can find it on Yahoo Travel). She names Tulsa as one of the top spots in the country for traveling at “a slower pace that encourages mindfulness.” 
Come for a weekend getaway full of nature, long strolls, and unplugging.

Museum That! is a four-day museum experience hosted entirely in American Sign Language for those in the signing community, by Tulsa-based nonprofit lololook. 
The experience is designed for members of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community, as well as their families, to experience cultural institutions in their own language.

there’s a fascinating cast of characters to meet at Oklahoma Aquarium 🦈 🐟
From an alligator snapping turtle that’s older than the state of Oklahoma to the world’s largest collection of bull sharks, this is a spot worth exploring
