Lawn chairs. Coolers full of cold beer and Coca-Cola. Fireflies. And, of course, lots and lots of fireworks. 

I'm talking about the Fourth of July, and surprise! It's right around the corner. 

<!--more-->

The 4th of July falls in the middle of the week this year, which works out great, actually: It creates a situation where we have not just one, but two weekends of Independence Day celebrations, plus an entire week's worth in between.

As always, we at Do What have compiled a list of the holiday events and activities going on in and around Tulsa. <a href="http://dowhat.thislandpress.com/event_tags/fourth-of-july/" target="_blank">To get the complete list of Fourth of July things to do, follow this tag on DoWhatTulsa.com</a>.
