Tulsa's Valentine's Weekend: Vintage Shows, Fiddlers, and Wine Tastings

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for February 14, 2025. We're starting off with a look at the weather, which is expected to be partly cloudy today with a high of 58 degrees. Perfect weather for all the Valentine's Day events happening around town. Speaking of events, there's a lot to love in Tulsa this weekend. The Vintage Tulsa Show is kicking off today at the Tulsa Expo Square, featuring over 250 booths of vintage and antique goods. If you're looking for something more musical, the State Fiddlers Convention is happening at the Marriott Tulsa Hotel Southern Hills, with live music and dancing all weekend long. And for all you wine lovers out there, the Philbrook Wine Experience is taking place at the Philbrook Museum of Art, with wine tastings and seminars. In other news, the city of Collinsville just wrapped up its Cupid Shoot Window Decorating Contest, with winners announced yesterday. And if you're looking for something fun to do with your loved one tonight, Roller World Party Center in Claremore is hosting a Valentine's Late Skate from 6 to 11 pm. On the job market front, Tulsa's tech scene is booming, with a 27% growth in software developer roles and an average salary of around $88,000. The Tulsa Remote program is also going strong, with over 2,400 remote workers now calling Tulsa home. And if you're looking to break into tech, there are plenty of educational pathways available, including programs at Tulsa Technology Center and Tulsa Community College. In real estate news, there aren't any major developments to report, but we do want to remind you that the Tulsa housing market is still going strong, with affordable housing options available in many neighborhoods. On the cultural front, the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra is performing tonight at 101 E Archer St, with a special Valentine's Day concert. And if you're looking for something to do with your family this weekend, the Tulsa Air and Space Museum is hosting a Glimmer Galaxy Gala: Father-Daughter Dance on Saturday. In sports news, the American Contender Tournament Central Regional Semifinals and Finals are happening at the Ford Truck Arena at Tulsa Expo Square this weekend. And if you're looking for something more low-key, the Oklahoma Swing Syndicate is hosting a swing dance night at the Southminster Community Center on Saturday. Unfortunately, we do have some crime to report. A man was hospitalized after being shot at an apartment complex in south Tulsa last week. Police have a juvenile suspect in custody, and the investigation is ongoing. Finally, we want to end on a feel-good note. The Tulsa community is coming together to support local artists, with an "If You Forgot" Valentine's Weekend Art Show happening at 2648 E 11th Street on Saturday. It's a great opportunity to meet local artists and pick up some unique gifts. This has been Tulsa Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
