Tulsa and its nearby communities will be lively this weekend with a mix of shopping, music and sports that offer something for families, teachers, small-business supporters and baseball fans.
Affair of the Heart returns to the SageNet Center at Tulsa Expo Square with a large marketplace of regional makers and small businesses. The three-day show runs July 10–12 and organizers say more than 290 vendors will offer jewelry, clothing, home décor, gourmet foods and other handmade products. Tickets are $13, and teachers with a valid school ID receive half-price admission.

The Affair of the Heart is described as one of Oklahoma’s largest and longest-running shopping and craft shows, and the event traditionally draws shoppers from across the region looking for unique, locally made items. For local artisans and small-business owners, the show provides a concentrated sales and exposure opportunity during the busy summer season.
Catoosa’s LibertyFest rescheduled after heavy rain
Catoosa officials postponed their annual LibertyFest after severe weather and heavy rainfall left Rogers Point Park too muddy for safe setup and parking. The event was rescheduled and is now planned for Saturday, July 11, at Rogers Point Park.
Officials said the rescheduled LibertyFest will feature the same vendors, live music and family-friendly activities originally planned for the event.
Admission to the rescheduled LibertyFest is free. The decision to postpone highlighted the summer weather risks that can affect outdoor community festivals, and the new date keeps the festival’s lineup intact for local families and vendors who had prepared for the original date.
Tulsa Drillers host Springfield Cardinals with promotions and fireworks
Baseball returns to downtown Tulsa as the Tulsa Drillers play a three-game series against the Springfield Cardinals at ONEOK Field from July 10–12. The series features family-friendly promotions, giveaways and fireworks. Friday’s game starts at 7 p.m. and includes the News On 6 K-Hits Friday Night Fireworks and a pregame activity.
ONEOK Field events like these continue to be central to summer entertainment in downtown Tulsa, bringing families to the ballpark and supporting local vendors and hospitality businesses around the arena.

For Tulsa residents, the weekend offers both inside and outside options—indoors at the Expo Square marketplace and outdoors at the ballpark and the rescheduled Catoosa festival. Weather remains a factor for outdoor plans, as the recent heavy rain that forced LibertyFest’s postponement illustrates.
Plan ahead: check event websites or social channels for any last-minute changes, especially for outdoor activities.
