Families and residents gathered in large numbers along the Arkansas River to witness a spectacular Independence Day fireworks display.

Set against an unexpectedly early start due to weather concerns, attendees expressed delight in experiencing the show before any potential rain.

Organizers received praise for the event's setup, which included ample porta-potties and dedicated pods for parents to change diapers or nurse babies, ensuring a family-friendly atmosphere throughout the evening festivities. The event attracted a diverse crowd enjoying amenities like food trucks, bounce houses, and face painting, making it a great atmosphere for many celebrating the Fourth of July in Tulsa.

For families like Geannie Gordineer's from Tulsa, who arrived early to enjoy the day-long activities, the event provided a perfect opportunity to gather and create lasting memories. "It's something to do every year with the family and we get out here every fourth and spend time with family," Gordineer said.
