OKC Beautiful is throwing a dance party from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Sept. 9 along southbound Classen Boulevard, from NW 7 to NW 9 streets. “Dancin’ in the Street” will include live music, food trucks, drinks and dancing. The event is a celebration of OKC Beautiful’s 50th anniversary project, a two-block-long art piece by Joe Slack. The piece, “Birdwatching OKC Lightning Thunder Dance Party,” was installed in 2019. Slack and his assistant put 1,800 hours into the project.

Tickets are $20 for age 21 and older and include admission and two drinks. Tickets for under 21 are $10 for admission only. For tickets and more information, go to okcbeautiful.com.
