Welcome!
On behalf of the City of Tulsa, I’m honored to welcome you to our city. As you arrive, I hope you get a chance to read 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 helpful Spring 2024 guide was curated specifically for this season and provides a snapshot of the great experiences Tulsa has to offer.
Start off with a glance at some of our major spring events, including the many exciting St. Patrick’s Day and Cinco de Mayo celebrations and Tulsa Mayfest. Then, look through some can’t-miss suggestions for each of the ways to enjoy our city, including our eclectic dining options, nightlife and live music, family outings and so much more.
For more to do in Tulsa, grab your phone and use the QR codes throughout the guide to uncover some great hidden gems, from unique foods and shopping to season schedules of your soon-to-be-favorite Tulsa sports teams.
I hope your visit is filled with unforgettable memories, and that when you leave, your first instinct is to head right back.
Best regards,
G. T. Bynum Mayor City of Tulsa
