Heard on Hurd plans a reel good time
EDMOND — The theme of the July Citizens Bank of Edmond’s Heard on Hurd will center around its second annual film festival.
The monthly street festival featuring food trucks and vendors is planned from 6 to 10 p.m. July 21 at the intersection of Broadway and Hurd Street in downtown Edmond.
Local short film producers will introduce their films to festivalgoers and answer questions during the second annual film festival, which will be from 6:30 to 9 p.m. inside Vault 405, at 10 N Broadway.
Vault 405, a new co-working space powered by Citizens Bank of Edmond, is a diverse community of thinkers, doers and entrepreneurs, a news release stated.
“Inspired by deadCenter Film Festival and the local art scene continuously blowing us away with their talent, we believe there is no better way to support our local artists than to showcase their hard work and share it with our community at Heard on Hurd,” said Heard on Hurd creator and CEO of Citizens Bank of Edmond, Jill Castilla.
The July event will bring classic and new vendors to downtown Edmond, including: Snow S’more, Lalo’s I Love My Taco Chop & Grill, Smokin’ Okies, Filipino Fusion, Rolling Cafe, Klemms Smoke Haus, The Hall’s Pizza Kitchen, Healthy Eats and Shameful Cheats, Let’s Do Greek, Big O’s Pork and Dreams, Fat Sosa’s, Sizzle N Spice, A Latte Love, Saucee Sicilian, The Browns Kitchen, Mutts, Phill Me Up Cheesesteaks, Metro Mini’s, El Reno Onion Burger, C’est Ci Bon, D Geez Smokehouse Meats, Tasty Beats, Oh My Gogi, Taco Addict, The Roaming Bison, Murphy’s Cook Shack, Fluff N Stuff, Kona Ice, Cookie Dough to Go and more.
The evening music will start off onstage with Josh Roberts, a Norman native singer/songwriter who is a pop, rock, soul artist who has played as a backing musician with country artist Brynn Marie. Second to take the stage will be Sophia Massad, an alternative/indie-rock artist from Oklahoma City.
The headliner for the July event will be Space4Lease, a psychedelic indie-rock band that has worked to create their own unique sound and remain unbound to any specific genre.
