Winterfest in Tulsa

Arvest Winterfest starts Friday with a 60 by 150 foot outdoor ice skating rink in front of the BOK Center which is 6 minutes from our Tulsa bed and breakfast. The ice rink is flanked by a warming tent at one end for spectators to watch skaters in climate-controlled comfort. Live entertainment is slated for Fridays and Saturdays on the ONEOK Stage. There will be concessions like gingerbread lattes, eggnog, apple cider and polish sausage. Old-fashioned horse and carriage rides through the streets of downtown are also available.
Wouldn't it be fun to take a carriage ride downtown to admire the cool art deco buildings. Then try your luck at ice skating. Reserve the Moroccan Room here at the Inn at Woodward Park so you can come back to soak your sore muscles in the Jacuzzi Tub for two.

Lights On Thanksgiving Night

Two Lights On events occur on Thanksgiving night both within 2 blocks of our Tulsa bed and breakfast, Inn at Woodward Park.
This picture is of Utica Square Shopping Center that has been doing this event for over 40 years. There will be refreshments, caroling, you can do some shopping and, of course, Santa Claus. I have a precious picture of my two sons and a nephew taken there on Santa's knee 25 years ago when they were 3 and 2.
The lights will be turned on at Swan Lake the same evening. You could stay here at the Inn at Woodward Park that night and walk off some of Thanksgiving dinner by visiting both. Then get up early the next morning, have some muffins and hit the stores for Black Friday specials.
From Thanksgiving until Christmas I provide wrapping paper and bows for guests to wrap gifts purchased at any of the nearby shopping areas. Just gather at the dining room table with hot cocoa, tea or cider, some cookies, listen to holiday music and wrap those gifts. Bring your girlfriends, rent the whole Inn and shop till you drop.
