The Center of the Universe Festival is a music festival. The festival is held in the Brady Arts District of Downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma. The headliners of the festival perform on a stage outside of Cain's Ballroom on Main Street, but the bars, restaurants and venues throughout the Brady District host acts with a wide range of music all weekend.
