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.
Drive through a winter wonderland at Lights on the Lake, held at the East Recreation area of Lake McMurtry. During the first three weekends of December, visitors see large holiday displays and twinkling lights wrapped around the surrounding trees. The event runs through January 3 and offers a glowing seasonal experience for families and friends to enjoy from the comfort of their vehicle.
