The Automobile Alley Association and Downtown Oklahoma City Partnership will host the 10th annual Lights On Broadway, part of Downtown in December presented by Devon. This beloved event returns Dec. 6, and Dec. 13, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. inviting visitors to shop local, explore the district, and enjoy cheerful seasonal programming.
With more than 600,000 colorful LED lights, Automobile Alley once again lights up during the season along Broadway Avenue and side streets. The holiday light displays feature dazzling curtains of light, festive décor, and larger-than-life ornaments creating a magical backdrop for holiday shopping, dining, and memory-making through Jan. 11.
Families can enjoy free Photos with Santa every Saturday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., sponsored by amshot. As a nod to the district’s automobile history, Santa will be smiling in style with his 1929 Mercedes Benz in the parking lot at 1001 N Broadway Ave, just south of Shop Good. Guests are welcome to take photos with their own cameras.
Each Lights On Broadway date features a variety of free, family-friendly activities and entertainment, including Magic Elf performances in partnership with Arts Council OKC’s Art Moves, live music, Thunder Drummers, balloon artists, free caricatures, face painting, and the Visit OKC mobile visitor center.
New this year, attendees can dance into the night at a Silent Disco OKC at NW 6th and Broadway, where there will be a DJ spinning festive playlists for all ages. Visitors can also enjoy expanded programming from district favorites like Factory Obscura’s Artist Market and Motors and the Alley. Oklahoma Contemporary will host their third Annual Dog Holiday Costume Contest Saturday, Dec. 6 at 4 p.m. on their North Lawn. Event check-in begins at 4 p.m., and judging starts promptly at 4:30 p.m.
