The biggest holiday of the summer season is the Fourth of July. In Tulsa Oklahoma, we celebrate the Fourth of July in many different ways. Each celebration leads up to a night sky filled with fireworks. The Tulsa community and the surrounding areas invite you to enjoy a day filled with parades, food, family fun, and more this Fourth of July. When the fun in the sun is over, you can end the night with July 4th fireworks in Tulsa.
You’ll need some sunscreen, comfortable shoes, and probably a Hydro Flask or two to keep you hydrated during all of these fun events! Fireworks celebrations can be fun, add in some sparklers and you have a perfect day AND night of fun!
There are so many places to go for the Fourth of July so where do you want to see July 4th fireworks in the Tulsa area this summer?
FreedomFest Tail Gate | 5 pm-10 pm
Get ready for a true American tail-gate party with the rest of our Tulsa community. This event is part of the Folds of Honor FreedomFest at River West Festival Park. Getting tickets to the bash will allow you early access to River West Festival Park.
You will even be able to park your car inside the park for $45. Tickets are very limited to this event, and so you will want to hurry and get yours. You’re also invited to bring your own propane grill and food to BBQ with during the event. While the festival ends at 10 pm, the fun isn’t over in Tulsa.
Bike Parade | 10 am- 12 pm
The New Haven Day School is hosting a Fourth of July Bike Parade for kids. This event will be a fun way to spend the morning and help kids pass the time until fireworks. The event starts at 10 am and goes until noon. Kids will need to bring their own bikes if they wish to participate in the parade.
The whole family can enjoy the activities and then, at 9:45 pm, look to the skies.
