Wednesday morning, the River Parks Authority made a big announcement about the first ever ‘River Rush Gala.’
The event will be held on the grounds of the Blair Mansion, known to many as the huge well manicured lawn, at 31st and Riverside in October.
The Gala will be the first ever fundraiser for the River Parks, and Wednesday’s big announcement has to do with the evening’s entrainment.
Grammy Award winning artist Joss Stone will play her first concert in Oklahoma at the Blair Mansion for River Rush.
The Gala will start on the morning of October 10th with a 5K run, followed by exhibits all day by river parks patrons with disc golf, and kayaking to name a couple.
The evening will be capped off with a dinner on the lawn of Blair Mansion and a concert by Joss Stone.
This will not only be the first time the public has the opportunity to donate money to the River Parks, it will also be the first time the public is allowed on the grounds of the Blair Mansion.
“We’ve all driven by it, we’ve all admired it for as long as we lived in Tulsa, but this is a chance to actually come onsite, and to have an outdoor concert on the river is something pretty special for Tulsa,” said Steve Bradshaw, the Vice Chair of the River Parks Authority.
The money from the event will go towards building new signs along the River Trails.
Tickets for the event are set to go on sale this Saturday. The reserved seating will cost $75, and the general admission will cost $55. If there is rain on October 10th, the event will move into the BOK Center.
