Holiday time in Muskogee brings fun events for all to enjoy.

The Garden of Lights runs Thanksgiving Night through New Year's Day and is a winter celebration that includes a drive-through display of over one million shimmering lights in Honor Heights Park. The lights are strung carefully to enhance the natural beauty of the park, gardens, trees, gazebo, waterfalls, and ponds. Displays also include a giant entrance tunnel of lights and a wide variety of animated wildlife depicting the creatures that make their home in the park. Gift shop on site. Entrance is FREE but donations are accepted.

Also from Thanksgiving through December 31st, drive through the Castle’s Christmas Kingdom with over 1,000 Christmas inflatables ranging from 4 to 13 ft. tall. Everyone from Santa and Rudolph to the Grinch and Spongebob Squarepants are on display in this drive through fantasy. Shop at Santa’s Workshop to make Christmas gifts by hand or visit the Christmas Village for fun by all ages. Entrance is FREE but donations are accepted.

Enjoy the Muskogee Christmas Parade Saturday, December 6. Watch as the parade winds itself through downtown in one of the best parades of the year.
