This weekend in Broken Arrow, OK

Spend a summer Saturday exploring the Rose District Farmers Market, where you can connect with local growers and makers while shopping for everyday staples. The market typically features more than 60 vendors each week, plus live music at every market and monthly visits from the Traveling Barnyard. The atmosphere is family friendly, offering an easy way to enjoy community time and support local businesses. Prospective vendors should apply only through the City of Broken Arrow website, and any requests to apply via social media are scams.

Summer Bizarre 3 is a full-day event packed with family-friendly fun, including a car show, kid zone activities, walk-up tattoos, and tattoos and piercings happening throughout the day. There will also be a lineup of vendors and food and drinks, plus live entertainment such as fire performance, Bizarre Battle Royal, and pro wrestling to close out the night.

A dedicated heart screening for children and teens will take place at Bixby High School, offering a simple HeartCheck designed to catch serious cardiac conditions that often show no outward signs and may be missed during routine checkups or sports physicals. My HeartCheck focuses on early detection so families can gain clarity and take steps to protect a child’s health. A child may look and feel well, yet an issue can still be hidden in the heart, and this screening is intended to bring those concerns to light and provide peace of mind. Financial aid is available through partnerships with the Strive for Life Foundation and the Jordan Robert Mann Foundation.

Saturday mornings at the market feature live music, and this session highlights Tulsa singer-songwriter Steve Liddell. His original songs blend folk, rock, jazz, reggae, and roots Americana. He has performed across the United States, on the islands of Hawai‘i, and on tours in Europe and Latin America. Honors include the Spot Music Award for Best Singer-Songwriter and a nomination for Best Album of the Year for his record GOODLOVE. Be aware that any social media posts seeking vendors, musicians, or other participants on behalf of the market are scams. Scheduling is not conducted through social media. For information about the market, refer to the City of Broken Arrow website.
