Each spring, a vibrant wave of color sweeps across downtown Oklahoma City as more than 60,000 tulips burst into bloom at Myriad Botanical Gardens. Now in its fourth year, the beloved Tulip Festival grows even bigger, expanding to a full week from March 28 through April 5, giving guests more time to experience one of the city’s most anticipated seasonal traditions.
Just a couple of blocks away, another 40,000 tulips blossom at our sister organization, Scissortail Park, creating an extraordinary floral display that stretches across downtown. Together, the parks showcase nearly 100,000 tulips in a dazzling spectrum of spring color.
The Oklahoma Animal Coalition is asking Oklahomans to turn off non-essential outdoor lights from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. during spring migration season (March 15-May 31). Excessive outdoor lighting confuses birds as they migrate through the state, separating them from their flocks, causing collisions with buildings and powerlines, and getting lost in dangerous environments.
