Get ready for a festive celebration at the “Muskogee Downtown Christmas” festival on Monday, December 16th, leading up to the Christmas Parade! The event takes place at Christmas Village, located at Arvest Park (230 West Broadway Street, Muskogee, OK 74401), between Arvest Bank and Square Deal Music. From 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, enjoy a day filled with local vendors, artisans, food, drinks, and special presents. Meet your favorite holiday characters, including “Jack Skellington,” “Sally,” and “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” and snap photos at creative holiday-themed photo spots designed by local artists.

The event also features mobile igloos for games and warming stations, Christmas and children’s lawn games, learning activities, and instructors. Christmas lights provided by The Fite Estate Honey Co and The Fite Estate Inn and Spa (special thanks to Lights Unlimited, LLC) will light up the festivities.

Please note, this festival is separate from the official Christmas Parade, which starts at 7:00 PM. Festival-goers are kindly asked not to impede the parade route as streets will be closed from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

Best of all, there’s no charge or fee to participate, so come as you like and enjoy a day of holiday cheer before the parade!
