It’s the most wonderful time of the year and holiday events are just around the corner. All across the state, there are light displays, festive activities, and special events you can attend to celebrate the holiday season. Winterfest, located in downtown Tulsa, has become a holiday favorite for over a decade, and this year it is going to continue but at a slightly different venue. Normally staged just outside the BOK Center, this year, the ice skating rink will be located inside the BOK center. Check out the pictures below to see all the other great ways to embrace the Christmas spirit with numerous attractions at Winterfest.

The 13th annual Winterfest will be open this holiday season from November 21 to January 3. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the magic of Christmas with friends and family.

This year, the ice skating rink will be located inside the BOK Center and will be one of the largest ice skating rinks in the state. In fact, it even boasts the nation’s largest ice rinks - bigger than Rockefeller Center in NYC!

The huge Winterfest Christmas Tree is always a crowd favorite particularly as a backdrop for all your Christmas pictures. This tree is even more impressive in person.

Another fun holiday attraction at Winterfest is the authentic old-fashioned horse-drawn carriage rides. The ride meanders through the streets of downtown Tulsa and is a great way to make incredible holiday memories.

Of course, no Christmas attraction is complete without an opportunity to visit Santa. Hopefully, all the little ones make the ’nice’ list. Check the website (link below) for Santa times and locations.

The Winterfest canned food drive is one of the great ways this event gives back to the community. Bring your cans and your crew and head out to Downtown Tulsa for a family fun experience.
