15th Annual Tabouleh Fest
Come experience our Lebanese heritage on Bristow’s Historic Route 66/Main Street.
Saturday May 12, 2018
Always held on the second Saturday in May after the Wildflower Run
For over one hundred years Bristow has been home to several Lebanese immigrants. Tabouleh is a Lebanese dish made of bulgur wheat. There are many different dishes that incorporate Tabouleh. So many that even the name Tabouleh has multiple spellings. Ta-boo-lee is a staple for many families in this area. Bristow is home to the Bishop Brother’s Taboli Factory and Slyman’s Lebanese Foods. You can find their products in your local grocery store.
Vendors, entertainment, activities, and karaoke style Bristow Idol competition.
Tabouleh Fest is brought to you by the Bristow Historical Society
Visitors to Tabouleh Fest will enjoy craft vendors, carnival rides, the Miss Tabouleh Pageant, a children’s area, a talent show and trolley rides. Saturday’s festivities kick off immediately following the annual Wildflower Run, one of the premier 5K runs in the state. Enjoy a wide variety of musical acts on the main entertainment stage, see which tabouleh recipe wins the top prize, or tour the only two tabouleh factories in Oklahoma. Don’t miss the festival’s tabouleh bar, where festival-goers can mix all of their favorite toppings into a tasty bowl of tabouleh.

We were travelling to St. Louis through Oklahoma once, and we stopped at a restaurant/bar in Bristow for dinner. I seem to remember it being on a main street, close to the railroad tracks. It had a large bar and served Mediterranean food like tabbouleh, dolmades, and hummus, in large quantities. I would like to go there again, but don’t remember the name of the place. Can anyone tell me?
