First Friday at The Gardens

With summer in full swing (have I mentioned how much I freakin’ love summer?!?!) there are endless opportunities to get outside and enjoy Tulsa.  And it just so happens one of those opportunities is right around the corner – First Friday Concert Series.  The FFCS is held the first Friday of every month (as if the name wasn’t a dead giveaway) at The Gardens of La Fortune Park.  This event runs from May through September, with the concerts starting at 7:00pm.

It’s a wonderful chance to pack a blanket, some snacks, the dog, and the kids and spend some quality time with the family without spending a lot of money.  The musical acts vary from month to month but chances are – there will be something for everyone.  They also feature a free raffle drawing for gift cards to various eateries and such.

If you love the music of the Caribbean, you are in luck!  This Friday is Steel Around, a steel drum band playing the music of Jimmy Buffet, Bob Marley, and many others.

So after the BBQ, and the fireworks, and the swimming, pack your picnic basket and join me at the Gardens!
