OK gang, as promised I’m going to start doing weekly event suggestions. For my first post I’m highlighting outdoor venues that have struggled through this summer’s brutal heat wave. But with temperatures dropping into the chilly 90s, now is the time to check out what’s going on in the great outdoors downtown:

My top pick is the Sunday Twilight Concert Series, which is being hosted for free by the Arts Council of Oklahoma City on the new Grand Event Lawn on the northwest section of the gardens. If you’ve not been to the Myriad Gardens yet, this Sunday may will be a wonderful opportunity to see the make-over that has taken place (and get a stunning view of the Devon tower across the street). Picnics baskets, blankets and lawn chairs are welcome. Even though parts of the gardens are still under construction and the nearby streets are torn up as part of Project 180, attendance for these Sunday night concerts has been impressive and give a glimpse of what’s ahead for downtown.
This Sunday’s concert will be from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and will feature the Flatland Travelers performing a mix of funk, blues and reggae.
