Lights On Utica Square
6:30 p.m. Thursday

2000s music tribute
8 p.m. Friday
Head to the Vanguard for a free show featuring favorites that were blasted at every Hot Topic in the 2000s. It will feature members of local pop-metal band A Mixtape Catastrophe playing songs from Avenged Sevenfold, Korn, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, System of a Down and more.
Home for the Holidays: A Blue Whale Comedy Night

Settle in at LowDown for a night of festive storytelling, unfiltered holiday confessions and the kind of family drama you can laugh at because it isn’t yours (hopefully).
Route 66 Book Talk
3 p.m. Saturday
Magic City Books hosts Jim Ross and Shellee Graham for a free in-store event to celebrate the release of their latest book, “Route 66: The First 100 Years.” The event comes as Tulsa prepares for the centennial celebration of the historic highway in 2026.
