Join us for the Big Dam Party, a four-day celebration marking the completion of the Zink Dam and Zink Lake projects and the grand opening of the Tulsa Wave Park. This major milestone for Tulsa brings together the community for a series of exciting events, including the AAON Great Raft Race, showcasing the new river features and the vibrant spirit of our city. Come out and be part of this historic celebration, enjoy the festivities, and experience the enhanced riverfront like never before!
This Labor Day, don’t miss the chance to see the star of the Big Dam Party: the 62-foot giant duck! This quackingly fun, oversized waterfowl will be waddling around the festivities, adding a splash of whimsy to the celebration. Spot her as she hangs out at Gathering Place, bringing smiles and photo ops to all. And don't miss Timmy, the 10-foot buddy, floating around Tulsa a few days before the Big Dam Party, ready for some quacky photo ops. Join us for a splash-tastic celebration and make some unforgettable memories with these larger-than-life feathered friends! Whether you’re here for the raft race or just to soak in the festive atmosphere, this giant presence is sure to make your day extra memorable.
