From road-worn Americana to rogue puppets and Cinco de Mayo celebrations, Oklahoma City has a nicely weird little weekend lined up for you.
Here are a few happenings worth checking out…
Cinco de Mayo at Scissortail Park
Fri. May 1 | 4-10PM | Scissortail Park
Is it weird that Oklahomans celebrate Mexican food, music and booze for a day and tolerate anti-Mexican politics the rest of the year? Asking for a friend who boycotts anything with a whiff of May the Fifth.
Nevertheless, there’s an abundance of Mexican heritage and pride to celebrate, and you can find the first festival of the weekend happening downtown at Scissortail Park on Friday. There will be live music, dancing, traditional food, community activities and free, family-friendly festivities – and if you sneak out of work early, you might even find free parking!
