Plan your weekend with Tasha Ball of TashaDoesTulsa.com

Tasha Ball of TashaDoesTulsa.com joins us every Friday with a list of things to do in Tulsa.

In the Center Ring
Free Tulsa. Free to enter, free to listen, free to enjoy - it's Free Tulsa 2011, and it's a music festival that will feature more than 150 bands in some of the hottest venues in downtown Tulsa's Blue Dome District today and tomorrow. Now, like I said, it's free to get in, but you need a wristband to get in, and you can get that at FreeTulsa2011.com. Get a complete guide to the festival in the latest issue of "http://www.thisland.com">This Land

, available in several locations in Tulsa as well as the festival. Friday and Saturday in Tulsa's Blue Dome District.

Wild Brew. Like beer? How about food? Sure, we all do - if you like local bands, too, you can get all three plus the opportunity to raise money for a good cause this weekend at Expo Square with the annual Wild Brew. Tickets are still available, and they include food, beer and entertainment at the event. Saturday, the doors open at 5pm.

Slumber Party 3. Slumber Party at Circle Cinema is part cinema, part competition, part surprise…and 100 percent awesome. It’s an entire night – as in, literally, all night – of B-movies on a theme, and this year it’s five movies fueled by revenge, shown back to back. I got word while I was at last night's Tulsa+ event that there are just a hand full of tickets left, so you can still be part of what's become a favorite Tulsa tradition.

With things to do in Tulsa this weekend, I'm Tasha Ball with TashaDoesTulsa.com.

For the Kids

Waterslide Weekends. Kids can take the “Penguin Plunge” and learn how to “Otter Slide” on the two new waterslides at the Tulsa Zoo this weekend. Guests can enjoy these large, inflatable waterslides free with the price of admission every Friday, Saturday and Sunday through the month of August, starting this weekend. Kids, be sure to pack appropriate swimwear and adult supervision.

Shark Week. LET IT BEGIN. During the much beloved Shark Week on the Discovery Channel, the Oklahoma Aquarium offers special features related to the sharks they care for and show off there. A highlight this year is the third segment of Light, Bright, Bite!, a secret decoder hunt. Kids, starting Sunday, pick up your secret decoder map at the information desk, find the answers to fishy mysteries and win a gift card to Incredible Pizza. Look for more Shark Week activities at the Aquarium to come this week.
