What's Happening This Winter
Muskogee Little Theatre
The Muskogee Little Theater is a community gem and each winter, The Ghost of Christmas Past comes to life on the stage in the Theatre’s annual production of Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” One of the best amateur theatre troops in the state recreates Scrooge and company to the delight of local and out-of-town audiences. Seating is limited in the historic auditorium, so call ahead for tickets to this or any of the Theatre’s productions.

Garden of Lights and Christmas Inflatables
From Thanksgiving to New Year’s Eve, Muskogee’s Honor Heights Park is transformed into a winter wonderland of holiday lights. Known for its glorious azaleas bushes in the spring, Honor Heights Park dresses up in holiday finery to showcase those same bushes – this time in millions of twinkling lights. Nearby at the Castle of Muskogee, the world’s largest collection of holiday inflatable decorations is aglow. Both drive-through displays are free, but donations are accepted.
