A WARM WELCOME
Welcome!
On behalf of the City of Tulsa, I’m honored to welcome you to our friendly, one-of-a-kind city. While you’re here, I hope you get a chance to look through this Official Tulsa Visitors Guide, whether digitally or in person, produced by Visit Tulsa of Tulsa Regional Tourism, a division of the Tulsa Regional Chamber.
This year’s Summer 2024 guide was curated specifically for this season and provides a snapshot of some of the great experiences in Tulsa.
I invite you to start with some of our major summer attractions, including events like Juneteenth and Tulsa Tough, as well as the inaugural Big Dam Party to celebrate the debut of Zink Lake, its whitewater flume, the Williams Crossing Pedestrian Bridge, boat launch opportunities, and Gathering Place’s expanded riverfront.
For more to do in Tulsa, you can use your phone and scan the QR codes throughout the guide to uncover some great hidden gems, from unique foods and shopping to season schedules of our incredible Tulsa sports teams.
I hope your visit is filled with unforgettable memories and we hope to see you back in Tulsa very soon.
Best regards,
G.T. Bynum Mayor City of Tulsa

As you navigate this guide, you will find helpful icons throughout, ensuring that some of what makes Tulsa so great doesn’t go unnoticed.
