Tulsa’s Dreamland Festival is back and will be taking over Tulsa's Art District this weekend. 

The event’s founder said it’s all about celebrating music, art, and culture.

Organizer and music artist, Steph Simon, founded the festival in 2016. It's named for the historic Williams Dreamland Theatre.

Simon partnered with local entrepreneur, Kolby Ari, to establish a film portion of the festival.

Ari said it tells a story about what it means to bring your dreams to life, which was the goal of the Dreamland Theatre.

The theatre was a staple of Black Wall Street before it burned down during the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.

Simon said he started his music career in Tulsa and wants to provide a platform for others.

There will be more than 30 artists at this year's festival.

Organizers hope people will be introduced to performers they've never seen before, and enjoy art installations by local artists and various panels.

Simon said the goal is to take this festival across the country someday.

“I think the music scene is here and has been thriving for so long. That goes for art, that goes for fashion, and for film. It’s been here. The dreamers are here and the ideas are here but the platform isn't. I wanted to create a platform for it to be discovered and seen,” Simon said.

The film festival is Nov. 3 starting at 5 p.m. at the Vanguard on Main Street.

The free concert part of the festival is Nov. 4 at Guthrie Green starting at 5:30 p.m.
