Tulsa Daily Local Headlines: Pre-K push, DrillersFest, and a busy BOK Center weekend

Pre-K enrollment push ramps up across Tulsa-area districts

A new local campaign is urging families to enroll eligible 4-year-olds in free, universal Pre-K for the 2026–27 school year. Leaders say the seats are available, but some families still run into confusion about where to start or what documents they need.

The effort points parents to a centralized tool that helps match an address with nearby enrollment options and steps to register. Supporters say the goal is simple: make the sign-up process clearer so more kids start kindergarten ready to learn.

Tulsa Drillers set DrillersFest for March 7 at ONEOK Field

Baseball season isn’t here yet, but the Drillers are already teeing up a fan-friendly kickoff. DrillersFest is scheduled for Saturday, March 7, with ticketing, membership pickup, and stadium activities planned throughout the late morning and early afternoon.

Alongside the baseball buzz, the event is also positioned as an easy way to handle spring plans in one stop: tickets, seating questions, and a first look at new merchandise. If you’ve been meaning to lock in a few dates on the calendar, this is the kind of low-pressure event that makes it easy.

BOK Center weekend: concerts, hockey, and venue updates

Downtown’s BOK Center is in full weekend mode, highlighted by a major concert date and back-to-back Tulsa Oilers games. If you’re headed to an event, remember the venue operates as cashless for most purchases inside, with cards accepted for food, drinks, and merchandise (while the box office may still take cash).

With sports and entertainment overlapping on the calendar, it’s a good reminder to plan ahead for parking, entry lines, and bag requirements so you’re not scrambling at the doors.
