Hanson Day and The Hop Jam 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

From May 20th<\/sup> \u2013 22nd<\/sup>, North Main Street Tulsa was host to fans from all around the world, celebrating 24 years of Hanson Music.<\/p>\n

The events were built around the free concert for fans, that Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson have been hosting each May for the past 9 years.<\/p>\n

Since its inception, the event has grown from a single concert to a 2 day long series of activities for fans.<\/p>\n

This year, the schedule was extended to include a karaoke session on the Thursday night, just as many fans were arriving in Tulsa.<\/p>\n

The Brady Arts District, in which Hanson\u2019s offices sit, has grown in recent years, to boast bars, music venues, clubs and coffee houses. This year, the Hanson Day events, made full use of the location, giving fans a taste of the rich facilities offered in the downtown.<\/p>\n

For Hanson, it seems that this event marries together two interests – greeting their fans in their hometown and showing them the best of their city.<\/p>\n

Although the Tulsa weather in May can be unpredictable, the little rain didn\u2019t dampen any spirits and fans were relieved that hurricane season left them well alone.<\/p>\n
