Whether you are heading towards family or taking a holiday RV trip, you will not want to miss Christmas in Tulsa. The city becomes a winter wonderland for locals and tourists alike. Other areas of Oklahoma follow this trend as well, making for a Christmas road trip your family will not forget.
Christmas in Tulsa
Winterfest is one of the best reasons to check out Christmas in Tulsa. This festival lasts for over a month and takes place downtown, with the BOK center as the base for festivities. Included in this celebration is an ice rink, a winter-themed marketplace, a 44-foot tree, and horse-drawn carriage rides throughout downtown. There is no better festival to get your holiday spirit than Winterfest.
While there are many more special events during Christmas in Tulsa, the Bethlehem Walk and The Nutcracker Ballet are particular favorites. The Bethlehem walk gives families an interactive tour of what Bethlehem was like when Jesus was born. The tour includes actors, animals, and first-century styled settings. The Nutcracker Ballet is excellent for young and older audiences alike, telling the tale of The Nutcracker Prince through beautiful dances.
Riverview RV Park is the perfect spot for RV travelers looking to take part in T-Town’s celebrations. Riverview is located in Sand Springs, only an 8-minute drive away. With hot showers and electricity to keep your space warm, this campground is a cozy spot to stay during the holidays as you explore events in the area.
Broken Arrow Festivities
Broken Arrow is yet another stop within a short drive of Riverview. This town is home to many seasonal events like the ones you will find during Christmas in Tulsa, but with their own unique aspects. The Rose District Ice Rink lasts for almost two months in this beautiful area of Broken Arrow. After you finish skating, shop for presents around local shops.
Broken Arrow History Museum features an evergreen tree exhibit that all ages will enjoy. Individuals, businesses, and organizations decorate and donate trees for visitors to enjoy. This exhibit only lasts until early December, as the trees are given to local families once it is over.
For over 30 years, Rhema has been hosting a light extravaganza. This year, they will feature more than two million across their property, shining throughout the evening and lasting until early January.
Visit Muskogee
Castle Christmas is a wonderful event put on in Muskogee. As part of this celebration, visitors can take a ride through the Village on a train. In addition, The Castle hosts a variety of holiday merchants, making it easy to shop for presents. There is also a café and Santa’s Workshop, where children visit Saint Nick and make ornaments.
Before you head back to your pad at Riverview RV to experience Christmas in Tulsa, drive through the Garden of Lights at Honor Heights Park. Holiday music plays as travelers pass through over 1 million lights that turn the town into a winter wonderland.
A Christmas Carol in Claremore
Unlike the modern events during Christmas in Tulsa, the historic city of Claremore, Oklahoma transforms into a Victorian-themed celebration in December. Dickens on the Boulevard is celebrated in downtown Claremore and features food, music, and historical education as well. This festival features reenactments of life in the Victorian era, from demonstrations to old-fashioned goods for purchase.
Claremore is also home to a Living Nativity, where visitors can take a walk through a farm and see over 100 costumed participants and live animals recreating the birth of Jesus Christ.
Claremore is only a 40-minute drive from Riverview RV Park, where travelers can station their mobile home in a fully-equipped pad. Riverview is the perfect spot to set up camp and explore Christmas in Tulsa as well as many other cities in the area.
