The Hit Parade

Movie lovers, rejoice: independent cinema’s best and brightest are headed to Oklahoma City for the 13th annual deadCENTER Film Festival. With options ranging from locally filmed shorts to star-studded dramas and documentaries, the choice of what to see is up to you ... with a little help from our full schedule.

Live & Lovely

Music hath charms to soothe the savage heat, and when the talent is this incredible and the price (free) this unbeatable, staying inside is for suckers. Enjoy the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Kirk Whalum and many, many more at Norman’s Jazz in June and the Charlie Christian Music Festival in Bricktown.
