Oklahoma events

You may think of the state of Oklahoma as fairly flat, but its cultural and entertainment scene is anything but. Between the state capital of Oklahoma City and other major cultural outposts like Tulsa, Oklahoma brings visitors a rich array of cultural and athletic entertainment.

Oklahoma venues

A good place to start is in Oklahoma City at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, which hosts a regular rotation of major touring performers in concert and serves as the home base to the Oklahoma City Thunder, a professional NBA team. Oklahoma City is also home to the Oklahoma City Dodgers, a Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Theater aficionados will enjoy the offerings of the Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma, a professional theatre company, while symphony lovers should check out a performance of the Oklahoma City Philharmonic. The Diamond Ballroom is another excellent place to catch live music in the city. The Oklahoma State Fair, which takes place in Oklahoma City each September, is full of fun for everyone.

Visitors whose travels take them closer to Tulsa will want to stop by the historic Cains Ballroom for concerts, or check out smaller and more independent acts over at the Vanguard. The Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame is a great venue for live jazz.
