We’ve got the scoop on your weekend. Here’s the Flyer’s top five.

71st Annual SpringFest
9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday and Saturday

The annual garden market is one of the largest educational events hosted by the Tulsa Garden Center each year, and the longest-running garden market in Oklahoma. While you’re shopping, don’t forget the “Too Much to Carry” hospitality tent where you can leave your purchases and then pick them up after you’ve retrieved your car. 

Rematriation Retreat
Friday to Sunday

The free event, hosted by Words of the People, explores how Indigenous language, art and cultural practice serve as acts of resistance through matriarchal ways. Two days of workshops are planned at the Tulsa Community College McKeon Center for Creativity, followed by a closing gathering at Dream Keepers Park.

Tulsa Dream Center hosts a morning full of rides, food, games, inflatables and nonstop fun for the whole family in this free community event.

UNcrease
