Tulsa has many free festivals (Mayfest, Blue Dome, Greek Festival, etc) but what other free entertainment can be had in Tulsa, I'm trying to compile a list.
I just recently heard about the "2nd Saturdays" where you can ride Tulsa Transit free from select locations to Philbrook, Gilcrease and the Tulsa History museum and it's all free. However, I can't find it anywhere on Tulsa Transit's site or anywhere else well documented for that matter.
There's free concerts at Utica Square as well as free movies at West Riverparks, correct?

There is one in Bartlesville called "summerfest" I believe. Arts and crafts, lots of vendors and the like. Sort of like Mayfest.
This may shed some light on the 2nd Saturdays thing.. I just used some google-fu to find it. Not sure if it is what you were after or not.

Summer's 5th Night. Live music Thursday nights May through Aug. in Utica Square.
Riverwalk concerts
There are free outdoor concerts at the downtown bus station on Fridays from 4 pm to 6 pm. There was a summer series and a fall series that just ended.
Downtown most weekdays, there is a street busker who plays near the fountain from 11 to 1.
The PAC has a Brown Bag concert series over lunchtimes on Wednesdays that are free.
The Tulsa Central Library has a Books Sandwiched In review series, where guest speakers discuss a book of their choice and lunch can be brought in or purchased on site.
And not exactly free, today there is a Living Arts Day of the Dead celebration that has an entry fee of $1 or a canned good donation.

FYI - the Greek Festival, like DOTD, is cheap, but not free.
Just went to the Day of the Dead Fest. It was really good. It has outgrown the area blocked off. Also, they need proper beer vending. 2 people pouring off 1 cheap keg tap - I could get a beer faster at a HS party. Great little fest though. I didn't eat there. I wanted to try a taco vender, but the folks I was with wanted to sit down somewhere and have a drink. We went to El Guapos, again, I need to stop going there on the weekends. Red snapper tacos were not available and no frozen drinks (not that I care, but chics were bummed) Every time I've been there on the weekends they seem to fall short of expectations.
TulsaNow is free fun
During the summer there are free concerts at riverwest festival park
