Tulsa Mayfest Kicks Off Downtown Despite Rain

The Tulsa International Mayfest kicked off Thursday, despite the rainy weather.

About 100 different artists from across the country have set up shop downtown. And there's something for everyone, from paintings to outdoor art, even jewelry and clothing.

And we can't forget the music. Friday and Saturday, musicians will play from about 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and most of the day on Sunday, until the festival closes at 6 p.m.

Thursday, we met up with one couple, Mark and Stacy Nix, who have a sentimental reason for coming to Mayfest each year.

"Actually, my husband proposed to me here 18 years ago," Stacy said. "So, I come most years, absolutely."

Mark said, "It's kind of a nice place for family and friends, and a good place to me."
