Mayfest
Music & Performance Art & Culture Festival & Celebration

Mayfest

at 11:00 AM — May 17, 2026

Mayfest is Tulsa's signature spring festival — four days of live music, visual arts, street performers, and food vendors that take over downtown and transform it into an open-air cultural celebration. Since 1973, Mayfest has been the event that kicks off Tulsa's outdoor season, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors.

The art fair component is serious — juried artists from across the country exhibit and sell original work. But the real draw is the vibe: live stages on multiple blocks, food from every corner of Tulsa's restaurant scene, and the feeling of a city that genuinely enjoys itself.

Details & Logistics

Main stages on Main Street and Boston Avenue. Food vendors throughout. Family area with kids' activities on the south end. Parking garages downtown are your best bet; plan for crowds after 5 PM.
