Midwest City Holiday Lights Spectacular
Located in the Joe B. Barnes Regional Park, the Midwest City Holiday Lights Spectacular grew from humble beginnings to be one of the largest animated displays in five states. Visitors can drive through the display and enjoy more than 100 animated displays and even a light show choreographed to classic Christmas tunes. The show opens each night through Christmas night at 6 p.m. It is open until 10 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday and closes at 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. We’re not sure if there is a cost to drive through this light show.
Yukon’s Christmas in the Park
Covering 100 acres over several parks in Yukon, the Christmas in the Park event features almost three miles of gorgeous illumination from millions of lights. There are also 2.2 miles of walking trails where individuals or families can enjoy self-guided tours through the lights. The Christmas in the Park is open from 6-11 p.m. nightly and is free to explore. Those who want a unique seasonal experience can take the Santa Express Train from Chisholm Trail Park (500 W Vandament) for just $2 per person and see the show in a different way. The train stops running at 10 p.m.
