Correction
An incorrect time was listed for the Owasso Christmas Parade in the original version of this story. The story has been corrected.
With less than three weeks 'till Christmas, the holiday events are nearly spilling out of the calendar.
Topping the list of activities is the Tulsa Holiday Parade of Lights, which will be held downtown in the Blue Dome District starting at 6 p.m. Saturday.
The parade - which will begin at Fourth Street and Elgin Avenue, proceed past the BOK Center and finish at First and Elgin - will feature lighted holiday floats, marching bands, giant balloons and a Jumbotron. Spectators will also see Santa, Miss Oklahoma and numerous animals as the parade marches by.
The night will conclude with a fireworks display.
Here is a selection of numerous other holiday events happening downtown through December, as well as other parades across the area.
