Muskogee’s
Year-Round Charm

Experience our very own winter wonderland as the enchanting holiday spirit takes over Muskogee. Wander through the magic of Castle Christmas at The Castle of Muskogee or Garden of Lights Festival and embrace the cozy scenes of our Hallmark charm. 

Celebrate the joyfulness of the holiday season downtown with the Depot Green Tree Lighting & Christmas Train, a festive event featuring a spectacular tree lighting ceremony, family activities, and the chance to hop aboard a Christmas train ride. Get into the holiday spirit with the Three Rivers Christmas Open House, where local businesses welcome you with special sales, seasonal décor, and a warm small-town cheer. It’s the perfect time to shop unique gifts while supporting local artisans.

For a magical movie experience, buy a ticket for the Polar Express Pajama Party at The Roxy and enjoy this beloved holiday film in cozy pajamas, drinking hot cocoa, and celebrating the magic of believing with your little ones.

Muskogee in its springtime bloom is a sight to see. As mother nature comes back to life, the Azalea Festival comes to town showcasing beautiful floral displays, wildlife can be spotted across paths of prairie and forests, plus the warmer weather invites longer days on the green for a round of golf or two.

Plan a trip to attend the annual Bare Bones Film Festival in April that celebrates low-budget and independent filmmaking with screenings, workshops, and networking opportunities for filmmakers and fans. Or adventure in for The Oklahoma Renaissance Festival at The Castle of Muskogee to experience the magic of the medieval era with live entertainment, jousting, themed games, and a wide variety of food and shopping options​.

Soak up your summer days with a road trip to remember. Enjoy cruising down Three Forks Harbor, splashing around River Country water park, or listening to live music under the starry Okie sky. The dog days of a Muskogee summer are ideal for time spent on the water or relaxing next to it. 

From water parks to boat rentals, cooling off in the summer heat won’t be a problem. Come experience the colorful spectacle at the annual Oklahoma Festival of Ballooning where hot air balloons fill the sky and glow at dusk. Spend a slow Saturday morning strolling the farmers market for local produce, baked goods, and homemade crafts from local vendors. Then, toast to a summer day well spent at Depot Green where you’ll find live tunes from local artists or a seasonal festival event.

Mild weather, bright foliage, and a buzzing autumn energy surrounds Muskogee in the fall months. Set a spark to your adventuring spirit at the Okie Jeep Jam with off-roading experiences and trail rides, or take in our natural beauty at one of our local parks with miles of trails to bike, run, or walk. 

Aside from the beautiful weather, fall is also a popular time to visit because of the seasonal events happening. The Castle Halloween Festival is a month-long, exciting spectacle for all ages. The grounds transform into a Halloween wonderland filled with haunted attractions, whimsical lights, and eerie displays. You can explore a variety of activities tailored to every scare level—from spine-tingling haunted houses to family-friendly hayrides.

Muskogee’s Downtown Halloween Boonanza takes place right in the heart of downtown, with trick-or-treating, festive decorations on Main Street, and a parade showcasing creative costumes and floats bringing to life the spirit of Halloween while capturing the true charm of the season.
