When is the Best Time to Visit Tulsa

Although determining the best time of year to visit Tulsa is largely up to personal preference, we’ve determined that the best time to visit Tulsa is between the end of September and the beginning of November. This is due to various factors such as events, crowds, and weather.

Tulsa State Fair

To start, the Tulsa State Fair runs between this time, it’s the largest event in Tulsa every year. As of 2024, it’s set for September 26th through October 6th and has been a yearly tradition since 1903. Last year, the event saw over one million visitors, keen to experience live music, exhibits, competitions, food, shops, and rides. Although this fair brings many crowds, it’s still less crowded than if you were to visit during the summer months.

Weather

Another ideal factor in fall is the weather, specifically the temperatures. This time can usually see temperatures in the 60’s and 70’s Fahrenheit and 16-26°C. It would be wise to carry a light jacket or hoodie for the evenings but nothing too crazy. Unlike spring, there isn’t much rain so you can guarantee good weather for the duration of your stay. The overall temperature is much like Crater of Diamonds as geographically, they’re located quite near each other.

Overall

Overall, the weather is as good as it can be making this time the best in the year to visit Tulsa. With that being said, there is no bad time to visit so if you’re only free at certain times of the year, don’t hesitate to visit then.
