THANK YOU!! BIG BITE TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT! FREE GENERAL ADMISSION TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE BUT GOING FAST!
Tulsa Arts District // Saturday, June 10th // Big Music x Food x Art x Tech
Tulsa Tough has long been one of Tulsa’s best weekends of the year. We love it for the cycling, and because it gives all of us a reason to venture downtown, explore the outskirts of Tulsa, and celebrate the city. Saturday’s race programming features the beloved Gran Fondo, which translates to ‘Big Ride.’ The name felt appropriate for the party we’ve been cooking up.
Our inaugural Big Ride event is happening Saturday, June 10th during Saint Francis Tulsa Tough weekend in the Tulsa Arts District. The all-in Big Bite ticket package is highly recommended for the most complete experience.
The Big Ride is a FREE General Admission event! Click the ticket button above to get your free ticket and you are all set! Food and drinks available for purchase at local bars and food trucks.
Look for the Big Ride concert stage in the middle of the Saturday race course on Main Street in the field next to Inner Circle in the heart of downtown Tulsa . It’s a great place to watch the races from and afterwards to enjoy the concert! The Big Ride fun kicks off on Saturday after the Saint Francis Tulsa Tough races end at sunset, and starts with an amazing lighted drone show far above the Big Ride stage.
The opening act, Sports takes the stage immediately following, with DJ ECOG in between before the headliner, Ghostland Observatory, kicks off! Stick around afterwards for the EDM after party, presented by SubSonix featuring Canabliss!
