Woolaroc Wonderland of Lights

Christmas is less than a week away. Celebrate with any of these holiday-themed events this week.

Jazz Hall
The Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame, 111 E. First St., has a couple of events going on this weekend.
On Friday, join local singers Pam Van Dyke Crosby, Rebecca Ungerman and Cindy Cain for the holiday installment of their Dancing at the Depot series.
Be ready to swing, cha-cha or tango to the holiday favorites. Doors open at 7 p.m.; dancing begins at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are $10, available at tulsaworld.com/jazz or 918-281-8609.

Also at the depot is the third annual Salsa Ball at 7 p.m. Saturday.
Bachata and salsa lessons will be offered, and a catered dinner will be served at 8:30 p.m. Live entertainment will begin at 10:15 p.m., with performances by Brujoroots Band, Salsabor Band and Calle Soul Band. Raffles and an auction will also be part of the event.
Tickets are $35 per person, or $60 per couple. A $5 discount is available for students and out-of-state attendees.

Pop-up Shopping
Make use of the last days of Pop-up Shopping in the Deco District. The shops will be open until Dec. 28. Items for sale include jewelry, books, cupcakes and dog treats. The shops are located inside four buildings in the area of Fifth to Seventh streets and Boston Avenue to Main Street. Hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Lights
Or use the last weekend before Christmas to view some light displays while they are still up.
The free display at Rhema Bible Church, 1025 W. Kenosha St. in Broken Arrow, is open nightly from 5:30 to 11:30 p.m. through New Year’s Day. It features 2 million lights and a 50-figure nativity scene.
Or see the Holiday Lights on the Hill at Chandler Park, 6500 W. 21st St. The public is invited to drive through three miles of bright lights and whimsical displays.

Out of town
There are several out-of-town options, as well, for those who don’t mind a short drive.
Christmas Kingdom is at the Castle of Muskogee, 3400 W. Fern Mountain Road, through New Year’s Day. The castle is open nightly from 6 to 10 p.m. and features more than 2,000 displays, plus hayrides, carriage rides, a petting zoo and a holiday movie at the castle. The event is free, but donations are appreciated. For more information, call 918-687-3625.
And, while in Muskogee, make a stop to see the Garden of Lights at Honor Heights Park, North 48th Street West and North 40th Street. More than 1 million lights are on at the park’s 120 acres from 5:30-10 p.m. Sundays-Thursdays and 5:30-11 p.m. Fridays-Saturdays. Visitors will also see lit wildlife displays among the trees.

And in Bartlesville, it’s the last weekend to catch this year’s Woolaroc Wonderland of Lights, at 1925 Woolaroc Ranch Road. The lights are on 5-9 p.m. Friday-Sunday. More than 600,000 lights illuminate this annual event, and visitors can take a ride in a wagon or stroll through the grounds. Cost is $4 for adults and $1 for children 11 and younger.
