The Woody Guthrie Center offers an immersive experience into the world of the legendary singer and songwriter Woody Guthrie. Visitors can listen to his recorded songs, read his lyric journals, and even create their own music. Additionally, the center features exhibits, archives, and research areas for further exploration. Visitors can also learn about the rise of contemporary DJ culture in New York City and the significant role that women, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community played in shaping this new form of music-making and melting pot social experience. Woody Guthrie's music celebrated America's beauty and abundance while seeking the truth about our country and its people. Through his simple songs, he conveyed complex ideas about democracy, human rights, and economic equality to all Americans. Woody Guthrie's music provided a voice to those who carried a heavy burden or had faced hard times, inspiring hope and strength.

If it's September, you might want to check out the Greek Holiday Festival sponsored by the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church. It's a fantastic celebration of all things Greek, including dance, drink, and food. You'll feel like you've been transported right to the Greek Isles. And speaking of significant food events, Tulsa has its fantastic celebration of Greek culture and cuisine. The annual festival celebrates 50 years of bringing together the community to enjoy traditional dishes and learn more about Greek traditions. If you're feeling competitive, try the Lord of the Fries, a hilarious and messy fry-eating competition. Teams of two work together to see who can eat the most fries before time runs out, and the winning team earns the coveted title of "Lords (or Ladies) of the Fries."
