Festive Food, Craft Beers and Great Fun—Don’t Miss This Year’s SPLASH!
Get your calendar and mark yourself down to attend one of Tulsa’s most popular and entertaining events—the Oklahoma Aquarium’s annual party and fundraising extravaganza, SPLASH!—happening this Saturday, February 26, 2022. Doors open at 7 p.m.
Presented by River Spirit Casino Resort, this year’s SPLASH! brings together more than 30 regionally and nationally acclaimed local brewers to pair tasty craft beers with delicious food offerings from over 20 signature Tulsa restaurants. It’s a food and drink party that you won’t want to miss out on. (Find the full list of breweries and restaurants here. You won’t be disappointed!)
As you drink and dine to your delight, you’ll also enjoy a variety of can’t-miss entertainment—including a live performance by Inspyral Circus and the Mermaids of Oklahoma, games, prizes, and even a mechanical bull shark (selfies are a must, right?). And of course, it all happens at the Oklahoma Aquarium, amongst our awesome sea-life exhibits. You can also meet the lovely Mermaids of Oklahoma, be sure to get a shell-fie with these sirens of the sea!
Be sure to check out the online silent auction too, happening virtually during the week of February 19–26. There’s something for everyone among the auction items—from Kendra Scott jewelry and Tulsa ballet tickets, to a Shangri-La golf weekend, Snoop Dog concert tickets, and more.

SPLASH! is all about making it possible for the Oklahoma Aquarium to do what we do best—educating and inspiring conservation of our aquatic world through interactive discovery. Of the 400,000 annual visitors to the Aquarium, approximately 100,000 are school-aged children who benefit from the enrichment, learning and joys of our exhibits and events, which your SPLASH! tickets and auction bids support. The Oklahoma Aquarium Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization, making your contributions tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
