Last Friday was one of the BEST DAYS for Broken Arrow Tourism! ?? We celebrated the official groundbreaking of the highly anticipated Sunset Amphitheater! While construction has been in process since June 2024, the official celebration reinforced the anticipation for this national music venue. Held on the grounds of the soon-to-be Sunset Amphitheater, the groundbreaking ceremony was attended by a lively group of supporters across sectors, industries, and regions including VENU leadership, Oklahoma State Representatives, Broken Arrow civic and municipal leaders, businesspeople, and community members. Those in attendance heard from speakers including Founder, Chairman, and CEO JW Roth, Oklahoma State Lieutenant Governor Matt Pinnell, Broken Arrow Mayor Debra Wimpee, Broken Arrow City Manager Michael Spurgeon, and Broken Arrow Chamber President and CEO James Bell. “This isn’t just about breaking ground—it’s about breaking new ground for what entertainment in Broken Arrow can become,”?said?JW Roth, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Venu.?“The Sunset Amphitheater will be a world-class venue where music, culture, and the community can come together to create unforgettable experiences. We are excited to celebrate this milestone with the people of Broken Arrow.” The?Sunset Amphitheater, with a capacity of 12,500, represents a?$93 million investment?into the Broken Arrow community, developed through a public-private partnership with?Venu, the City of Broken Arrow, Wagoner County, and the?State of Oklahoma.

A huge thank you to our friends at Tulsa Regional Chamber for an enlightening intercity visit to Detroit! A leadership group from the City of Broken Arrow joined leaders across the region to learn about economic development and tourism. We were given an exclusive tour of the historic home of Henry and Clara Ford and enjoyed an evening at the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. We visited Newlab and the amazing Michigan Central Station, where the audience heard about Detroit’s story of transformation. Blake Ewing, chief of staff for Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum, had a formal conversation Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, and attendees listened to insightful panel discussions on housing and inclusive development and downtown development. It was perfect weather for walking tours of downtown and Detroit’s revitalized riverfront. Opportunities like this are so important for innovation and growth. We’re already looking forward to next year! Visit Broken Arrow City of Broken Arrow
