EMBARK celebrated OKC Streetcar’s first anniversary with activities, tours, and community-focused events planned by factor 110 | Destination Oklahoma. Oklahoma City residents and visitors alike celebrated the OKC Streetcar with free-ride weekends, Sip & Savor tours, Storytime with Mrs. Claus on the Streetcar tours, activities on the streetcar, performances at platform stops, and special ticketed events. The celebrations focused on giving back and thanking downtown businesses who supported the Streetcar during its opening year. In addition, the events raised money, awareness, and provided hygiene kits to the Homeless Alliance and allowed for partnership with hospitality students from Oklahoma State University.
