You’ll be sure to have a packed schedule this month, with community events galore.

In Tulsa, try the Nutcracker Festival on Dec. 5-6 at Expo Square, with holiday-themed activities, food and drink plus live presentations. Keep the festivity going with the Rudolph Run at Fleet Feet Sports Broken Arrow, where runners can enjoy a 5K or fun-run in costume. Tulsa Botanic’s Garden of Lights shines through Dec. 28; the Rhema Christmas Lights at Rhema Bible College concludes Jan. 1; and the Broken Arrow Ice Rink in the Rose District welcomes guests through Jan. 5. Non-holiday offerings include the Tulsa Dog Training Club AKC Agility Trials, Dec. 5-7 at Expo Square, and the Pickin’ in the Park: Bluegrass Acoustic Jam event, Dec. 6 at the Gathering Place. 

In OKC, Downtown in December is in full swing with the Saints Santa Run — starting at 1000 N. Lee Ave. — on Dec. 6, alongside the Devon Ice Rink through Feb. 1 at Myriad Botanical Gardens. Venture over to the Oklahoma Railway Museum for The Polar Express train rides through Dec. 28, or peruse the gorgeous decor at BancFirst Tower during Red Earth TreeFest, through Dec. 31. 

There are too many events to name around the state, but try the Minco Honey Festival, Dec. 6 at Minco High School; Lights on the Island, through Dec. 25 at Lake Wister State Park; the Chickasha Festival of Light, through Dec. 31 at Shannon Springs Park; or the Woolaroc Wonderland of Lights, also through Dec. 31 at Bartleville’s Woolaroc Museum and Wildlife Preserve.
