Festival Info
-
Neon Prairie is Tulsa’s newest independent, multi-genre music and camping festival, set in the lush forests of POSTOAK Lodge. The first of its kind in the Midwest, it blends performances from top and rising artists with camping, outdoor adventures, and immersive art experiences.
-
So many things! Expect incredible musical performances from national, regional, and local talent, alongside late-night jam sessions, yoga sessions, live art, meditation workshops, and dance-like-nobody’s-watching moments—all set beneath Oklahoma’s stunning starry night sky.
-
It’s all happening in the 1,000 acre forest surrounding POSTOAK Lodge, an event and retreat center located about 15 minutes North of Downtown Tulsa.
The official festivities starts on Saturday, September 6 from 4 pm - 3 am, and then Sunday, September 7 from 2 pm - 10 pm (but check back here later in case the times change).
This year we’ll have a pre-party on Friday, September 5 that gives a preview of the Neon Prairie in a more intimate setting at Postoak Lodge. You’ll get to know our musicians and network with the coolest peeps in town.
This year we’re opening up options for anyone to purchase a parking pass so they can park onsite at Postoak Lodge, otherwise it is required to take one of our complimentary shuttles from the Osage Casino or Tulsa Community College (TCC) parking lots. More details coming about all of this soon!
-
You’re in for a treat for sure! We spend a ton of time curating our lineup with must-know nationally known musicians and our best local and regional talent. We’ll announce the lineup soon, stay tuned for more!
-
Neon Prairie is for the dreamers, adventurers, and all-around good vibes seekers—those who love creating new memories and want to be part of building one of the most epic festivals in the country. We welcome those who are excited to grow with us, share feedback (email us at feedback@nptulsa.com anytime!), and embrace the journey as we fine-tune the magic. After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day!
If you believe in uniting the community through music, celebrating our beautiful diversity, pushing creative boundaries, and honoring both nature and tradition in our enchanted forest, then you’re in the right place.
If this sounds like your vibe… welcome to Neon Prairie!
-
Neon Prairie isn’t for you if:
You bring a bad attitude and don’t care about the people around you.
You think littering is normal (spoiler: it’s not).
You steal, break the rules, or cause trouble.
You plan to wander off past security into the wild (beware of bobcats, ticks, and rattlesnakes!).
You’re just here to make things harder for others instead of embracing the experience.
We love you, but if any of this sounds like you… this might not be the festival for you right now.

Tickets will go on sale soon! Sign up to our email list for updates

We have camping, RV camping, and the comfy “Staycation” options at the POSTOAK Lodge rooms itself onsite for the weekend… This is perfect if you don’t like driving home late at night (Hello, after party until sunrise in our forest!). If you’re in for the ULTIMATE Neon Prairie experience and want a front row seat at our Saturday afternoon Oasis party with DJs and pool access.
We have partnerships with hotels throughout Tulsa that would love to host you also. The camping and lodge rooms on site will have limited space… so check back here soon to get yours as they’ll be ready to book online soon.
-
Yes, you will be able to purchase a ticket specifically for camping once they become available. Just remember that you need to buy an admission ticket in addition separately.
-
Yes! This is an all-ages event but attendees under 18 must enter with a parent or legal guardian. We're more kid-friendly during the day as it's definitely an “adult” festival later in the evenings: We’ll have a super fun kiddy area that the adults will envy, but there will be free-flowing alcohol, we're 420 friendly, and the music sets may have swear words (but usually later at night… otherwise earplugs for the kiddos come in handy here!), and people from all walks of life expressing themselves… some fully clothed but others might be scantily clad. Please keep this in mind, especially when bringing kids, and we look forward to having a great time with all of you at the festival!

Awesome people who love creating new memories and having all-around good times; people who want to witness or help build this into one of the most epic festivals in the country but are willing to give feedback (email us at feedback@nptulsa.com anytime!) and be patient while we work out the kinks until that happens (Rome wasn’t built in a day, right?!).
This is for you if you support our ethos of uniting the community around a shared value of celebrating our beautiful diversity, stretching the imagination to create new things, and are all about taking care of our environment in our enchanted forest, meanwhile honoring the old traditions of our past and always remembering where we came from.
If this is your jam, the Neon Prairie is for you… Welcome!

Grumpy people who go to festivals with a bad attitude, if you don’t care about the people around you or think littering anywhere is normal (FYI... it's not!), if you steal stuff, break the rules, litter, hurt cute kittens, plan on running off randomly into the forest beyond our security checkpoints to get lost (hello, bobcats, ticks, and rattlesnakes!), or you're kind of a jerk…
We love you but this isn’t for you right now.

Yes! This is an all-ages event but attendees under 18 must enter with a parent or legal guardian. We're more kid-friendly during the day as it's definitely an “adult” festival later in the evenings: We’ll have a super fun kiddy area that the adults will envy, but there will be free-flowing alcohol, we're 420 friendly, this year at least 1 headlining musician will shout explicit lyrics hilariously at us from the stage (Not until about 9:30 pm though, otherwise earplugs for the kiddos come in handy here!), people from all walks of life expressing themselves… some fully clothed but others might be scantily clad. Please keep this in mind, especially when bringing kids, and we look forward to having a great time with all of you at the festival!
