deadCenter Film Festival does include a few free screenings, including one in the Myriad Gardens, each year. I don't know if that fits what you were looking for.

The Health Department has Open Street twice a year as well, and it’s always nice.

I sure hope it goes better than last year!

I think they got totally swamped by a turnout that exceeded what anybody involved was expecting.

Really enjoyed the food, booths & cultural environment last evening. Only drawback, it took us forever to find a place to park.

Oh Lord, our Asian community is huge. Reminds me of the events in Boley & Okmulgee rodeo weekends--people of all races, colors & creeds come together to celebrate.

This event will continue grow...

I saw photos of this event. Looks like an awesome turnout. I wish I would've known about it. I read most everything re OKC happenings and didn't see a thing about this. Maybe I overlooked it

The "Brothers in Arms" sculpture honors those who fought during the Vietnam War. The monument is designed to show the brotherhood that developed between the American and the South Vietnamese soldiers. The monument is located in Oklahoma City's Military Park, 1200 NW 24th Street, near North Classen Boulevard.

I wish OKC would do night market in the Asian district more often. Not necessarily this festival style, but a true night market say on the weekends/holidays filled with street food, merchants, and entertainment.

Can still do the Grand Night Market festival annually (maybe rename to symbol the Asian District), but I wish they would do smaller night markets sunset-to-midnight (or later!!) much more often.
