Our special tour on May 1, 2021 was a success. Tulsa Tours donated all $1,000 in ticket sales to the nonprofit Kendall Whittier Historic Main Street. There are no plans to repeat this tour.
After decades of decline, Kendall Whittier has bounced back in a big way. KW is now full of indie creatives and family-friendly shops and eateries—some recently established and others decades strong. Last year, the neighborhood was selected as one of three Great American Main Streets, a coveted award from the nonprofit National Main Street Center.
This inaugural maker tour explores 10 establishments where you’ll hear inside info from a business owner or employee while outside on the sidewalk. We’ll snack and sip along the way and accumulate swag—all included in the tour price.
Places you’ll discover may include:
🇲🇽 Pancho Anaya Bakery for a Mexican pastry
👕 Flash Flood Print Studios to learn about screen printing and pick up your tote bag
🧴 Jo & June to learn about sustainable self-care products
📚 Whitty Books for spring reading suggestions
☕️ She Brews Coffee House for a sip of caffeine from a coffee shop with a mission
🖼 Ziegler Art & Frame for neighborhood perspective from this long-time merchant
🍿 Circle Cinema for popcorn and a short film about KW
🥤 Bar 473 for a pit stop at a former Phillips 66 gas station converted into an urban oasis
🗿 The Makerage to learn how to make beautiful pieces with concrete
🍺 Heirloom Rustic Ales for a brewery tour and taster-sized beer
Ticket sales support these small businesses❣️
Your tour leaders Jessica, Executive Director of Kendall Whittier Main Street, and Jeffrey, founder of Tulsa Tours, look forward to meeting you!
