Experience one of Oklahoma’s brightest holiday traditions as Yukon’s annual Christmas in the Park lights up City Park, Chisholm Trail Park, and Freedom Trail Park, with more than 500 displays and millions of twinkling lights. Every night from November 22 through December 31, visitors can enjoy the magic by car with the drive-through route, stroll the illuminated trails on foot, or hop aboard the Santa Express Train for a festive ride through the parks.

The Downs Family Christmas Lights in Norman is one of the most spectacular light displays at a private residence in Oklahoma. Each year since 2007, nearly two months of work have gone into creating a wonderful display with two "mega trees" that are 70 feet tall, ten mini trees and 20-foot long arches, all created out of over 280,000 lights.

Each month the McSwain Theatre has a monthly Jae L. & Crossover show.

Hoop Dreams : An Immersive Visual & Performance Exhibition

A visual and performance-based exploration of aspiration, repetition, and transcendence through the language of circles.
Created and curated by Chandler and Essence, Hoop Dreams bridges movement, sport, and art to examine how we pursue what calls us, again and again.

From hoop to hoop, court to sky, the body becomes both storyteller and vessel.
Dreams loop. The cycle continues. And each rise becomes a new horizon.
