February 2026

Greetings,

The Bristow Noon Lions Club is proud to once again host the Bristow Tabouleh Festival on May 9, 2026. This beloved community tradition brings our town together for a full day of food, music, and celebration, beginning with the Wildflower Run at 9:00 AM and continuing through 3:00 PM.

The Tabouleh Festival is more than a day of fun; it is a celebration of culture. Rooted in Bristow’s Lebanese heritage, the festival honors the traditions, music, and food that tell the story of who we are. Music, in particular, is a universal expression of culture, and it plays a central role in how we share stories, preserve heritage, and connect generations.

Each year, the Lions Club selects a nonprofit cause to benefit from festival proceeds. This year, proceeds from the Bristow Tabouleh Festival will support the fine arts programs at Bristow Public Schools. In rural Oklahoma, access to arts education is not always guaranteed, yet the arts are essential to developing creativity, confidence, discipline, and cultural understanding in our students. By supporting fine arts education, we are investing in the next generation of musicians, artists, storytellers, and community leaders.

Live music returns to the main stage all day, reinforcing the festival’s mission of celebrating culture through the arts. The Wildflower Run continues its long-standing tradition as one of Oklahoma’s oldest 5K races, and of course, the festival would not be complete without the famous cabbage rolls, tabouleh, and hummus served in the Community Bank parking lot. Every element of the day reflects our shared values of culture, creativity, and community pride.

Hosting a festival of this size requires significant resources, and with the goal of strengthening fine arts education in our local schools, we are seeking the support of community sponsors. Sponsorships help offset festival expenses while ensuring that proceeds directly benefit arts access for Bristow students. Sponsor levels are $350, $650, $1,000, and $1,500, with higher levels receiving larger and more prominent logo placement on festival banners, advertising, and social media. Premium Sponsors at the $1,500 level will also receive a dedicated sign with their logo displayed at the event.

By becoming a sponsor, you are not only supporting a vibrant cultural festival—you are helping ensure that students in our community have access to music, theatre, visual arts, and creative opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach. Festival funds stay right here in Bristow, strengthening both our schools and our cultural future.

If you would like to become a sponsor for the Bristow Tabouleh Festival, please contact Leslie Alexander, Natalie Hogner, or Tiffany Honeycutt at Community Bank at (918) 367-3343, or email taboulehfest@yahoo.com. We would love to partner with you to celebrate culture, support the arts, and make a lasting impact in our community.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,
The Bristow Noon Lions Club
