This second-ever event brought the community together last year to share in the excitement of a Times Square-esque, free outdoor street party complete with a lighted ball drop, fireworks, bands and entertainment, and they’re going to do it even bigger and better to ring in 2011. A choice of outdoor and indoor activities along Brookside guarantees participants of all ages to can comfortably enjoy the festivities, even if our Oklahoma weather rears its ugly head. Look for live entertainment from Eric and the Adams (one of my favorite Tulsa bands) on an outdoor stage and dancing in the VIP Party Tent (tickets to which are $75 per). All proceeds raised by THE Party will benefit the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma.
