July 4 Folds of Honor Freedomfest
Folds of Honor FreedomFest presented by QuikTrip returns for the annual River Parks July 4th celebration. This year’s event will bring back two family-friendly festival locations: Veterans Park at 18th Street and Boulder Avenue and the newly-renovated River West Festival Park, 2100 S. Jackson Ave. An evening packed with fun, food, family and friends will culminate in a fireworks show launched from the nearby 21st Street bridge over the Arkansas River.
River West Festival Park, operated by the River Parks Authority, underwent a nearly $6 million upgrade that was completed in the fall of 2015. The renovation updated much of the park’s infrastructure, including electrical and water lines, and added a new restroom and playground. More significantly, the renovation provided enhanced green spaces and a river-front stage with unobstructed views of the Tulsa skyline.
Festivities at River West Festival Park will begin at 5 p.m. and will feature a variety of activities including the HollyFrontier Kids’ Zone with inflatables, a rock climbing wall, laser tag and water games. Food and beverage products will be available for purchase, and title sponsor QuikTrip will be onsite with a prize wheel and giveaways.
In addition to River West Festival Park, there will be festivities beginning at 5 p.m. at Veterans Park that include the HollyFrontier Kids’ Zone with inflatables for kids, food and drinks for purchase and the Stars and Stripes Pavilion for sponsors and registered guests.
