Food, Fireworks, Bands Provide Lots Of Action In Downtown Sulphur At Tribe’s Beats & Bites Event
Thousands of people braved the brutal July heat to celebrate the Nation’s 250th birthday in an event held at the iconic Artesian Hotel in downtown Sulphur.
The free event, called Beats and Bites, went off two days before Independence Day, but still attracted a huge crowd who jammed onto Muskogee Street and nearby areas to listen to live music, partake in family friendly activities, food trucks and watch a grand fireworks show to cap it off.
The photo at left shows the extent of the crowd, while the below photo shows one of the large fireworks going off over the night sky adjacent to the hotel.
