Creating events that bring together all of what makes Tulsa and Oklahoma great, with a spotlight on music, art, tech, and food.

Flywheel launched in 2022, and first partnered with the Saint Francis Tulsa Tough in the summer of 2023. Already an iconic Tulsa event, Flywheel approached Tulsa Tough to bring an annual music concert event to Saturday night called Big Ride. This Flywheel presented event builds on the already great Saint Francis Tulsa Tough Saturday races to create an amazing Tulsa experience! Big Ride returns on June 6, 2026, as the Saturday night celebration and afterparty of Tulsa Tough — promising an unforgettable night of live music and celebration.

Flywheel’s second great presented event, Big Bite, is Tulsa’s and Oklahoma’s newest food festival, debuting in 2023 as part of Big Ride’s VIP experience. In 2024, Big Bite became its own food festival experience, complete with showcases of art and music. Now in its third year as a standalone event, Big Bite returns on April 18, 2026, at the Gateway Event Center in downtown Tulsa. Featuring chefs, restaurants, and vendors from across the state, Big Bite celebrates Oklahoma’s incredible food scene alongside live music, interactive art, and curated experiences.

Flywheel’s third amazing event is Chroma, a technology event that showcases the amazing technology innovation as well as incredible legacy technology in and around the Tulsa area, put on in partnership with Gradient. Chroma debuted as a one day event in support of the Oklahoma IT Symposium and the Tulsa CIO Forum. In 2026, Chroma will take place on August 20-21, 2026 at Gradient’s incredible facility in downtown Tulsa.

Flywheel’s fourth and newest event is Big Scene, an immersive art showcase that reimagines Tulsa in the year 2036. For one weekend only, February 13–15, 2026, Big Scene transforms a historic space into a bold, futuristic vision through six site-specific installations created by Tulsa-based artists. The event features interactive art, live performances, and unique engagement opportunities including artist talks and private tours. Big Scene invites the community to step into the future and experience creativity on a whole new scale.
