 You may wrap up the gifts, but don’t wrap up the holidays without dashing through the snow – or any other kind of weather – to enjoy an Oklahoma holiday event or festival. Pile in the car with the family or a few friends and make a night out of enjoying the lights. There are brilliant shows throughout the state, so get in the spirit and see a few! Or lace up the skates and give your twirls a whirl at the ice rink in downtown Oklahoma City. There’s plenty of cheer – and you can find the whole list here: 
Bartlesville – Nov. 20 - Dec. 30, 2008
Fantasies of festivity become reality at this drive-through light show throughout Johnstone
Park. Animated displays and thousands of displays set to music set the tone for a very
merry excursion. Donations accepted at the Gingerbread House.

Guthrie – Nov. 29 - Dec. 21, 2008
The original state capital turns jolly with a capital J! Guthrie’s month-long celebration kicks off every year just after Thanksgiving, featuring a variety of festivities.
