The relocation of KWTV News 9 to their new home in at Sheridan and Robinson last month is another example how downtown Oklahoma City continues its resurgence as an economic development destination for business and industry.
Oklahoma City is attracting visitors from across the world, thanks to some of the city’s newest developments like the First National Center and First Americans Museum, nationally known sports teams like the Oklahoma City Thunder and tourism-focused entities like the Oklahoma City Conventions and Visitors Bureau (Visit OKC).
Are you planning a local adventure or want to treat yourself to the best spots to dine and unwind downtown? With the attraction of the holidays and events during Downtown in December, the OKC Streetcar is offering free rides every weekend until Jan. 1.
Oklahoma City residents and visitors are encouraged to join in celebration of the installation of the anticipated “Light as a Feather” (Taking Flight) sculpture at Scissortail Park during a dedication ceremony Dec. 21. The official dedication ceremony will begin at 5:30 p.m. with the lighting at 6 p.m. on the northeast corner of Scissortail Park, near Oklahoma City Boulevard and Robinson Avenue downtown.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year and with it comes holiday parties, gift exchanges and lots of opportunities to get into the Christmas spirit with the Downtown in December events, many of which are free.
Oklahoma City was ranked as more affordable than every other city on the list due to its relatively low housing costs and overall cost of living. The site’s evaluations came from a metric system, which graded cities on a 100-point scale – 100 representing the best possible score. With each of the four included categories representing 25% of the overall grade, the site then broke each category down into specific qualities.
Did you know the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber puts on around 70 events each year? Chamber events aim to inform people about crucial topics facing our community and allow for important networking time.
The Downtown in December event will include a 5K run, or walk, race through Midtown and the nearby Heritage Hills neighborhood, ending on the campus of the event’s presenting sponsor, SSM Health – St. Anthony Hospital. A separate 1-mile run, or walk, and a 50-yard kids’ dash will also be included.
