 The District's namesake blue
dome at 2nd & Elgin by BixB, 4 more photos
A few years ago denizens of the Blue Dome District started "The Blue Dome Art Festival" in response to the Tulsa International Mayfest's policy of featuring only artists, mostly non-local, who have been invited to participate. It is a free-wheeling festival with an open invitation to all local artists. It is held here at the same time as and just a few blocks away from the annual Mayfest International Art Festival.
Blue Dome is also the home of D-Fest, a showcase for unsigned original talent as well as big name acts, held every July (July 25-26, 2008). With over 100 bands on mulitple stages as well as workshops related to the music business for one low-cost ticket, D-Fest has become a major regional festival. Attendance has grown from a few hundred in 2002 to over 60,000 in 2008.

When it comes to Tulsa's main nightlife areas, the area centered around South Peoria Avenue and East 35th Street known as "Brookside" has served as a hotspot longer than others. The area was once a popular strip for teens to cruise in their cars, ala "American Grafitti," stopping for impromptu hook-ups along Peoria, grabbing a bite to eat at Pennington's Drive-in or Der Wienerschnitzel.
Those places are long gone, and the teens have grown up along with the area. It is now a hip neighborhood and collection of nightclubs, "yuppie biker" bars, eateries, and shops. Popular after-dark destinations for music and drinks are Suede Ultralounge, Sharky's, Crow Creek Tavern, Smitty's, Bruhouse, and Another Round. There are also numerous restaurants in the area - The Grapevine, Table Ten, Garlic Rose, Cafe Ole, In The Raw, Alioli, Charleston's, and Brookside Bar & Grill, among others. The Brook Restaurant, housed in the fomer Brook movie theater and open until 3:00AM, is a great spot for after-club dining.
