There is even less to do in downtown Tulsa after dark than during the day; 15th and Cherry streets just south of downtown, and S Peoria Avenue by the river, are much livelier. If you visit in early September, try to catch the zydeco music and Creole cooking at the
Backdoor Cajun Music Festival
. Newspapers like the
Urban Tulsa Weekly
and
Tulsa World
carry full nightlife listings.
