I love summer for many reasons but one reason in particular is the fact that there’s always something to do. Check otu these events around the Tulsa area this week:

Take the kiddos to the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus now through Sunday at the BOK Center. What’s great is that tickets start at $15 so the entire family can attend. Also, check out Wade Bowen at Cain’s Ballroom on Thursday and Even the Dogs CD Release on Friday.

Don’t miss Horace and Daphne on Friday at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center or No Reservations: An Evening with Anthony Bourdain this Saturday. Although I’ve only watched Bourdain’s TV show, I’d venture to say this will be a great evening. Oh, and the show is intended for adults only.

The Oklahoma Mozart Festival begins this Friday in venues throughout Bartlesville. The festival brings together professional musicians and artists for performances that are of artistic excellence for an event with international significance.

Other events you won’t want to miss include the Riverwalk Summer Concert Series on Friday and Saturday and Rhythm on the River.  Also, every 2nd Saturday the Philbrook Museum offers free admission. Check it out for a family-friendly and free day of fun!
