Skating Below the Skyline
by Michael Champlin on December 22, 2009
In case you haven’t heard (or been!), Winterfest is back downtown and bigger than ever. Now featuring a larger ice-rink, a heated hospitality tent, and Oklahoma’s largest Christmas Tree (44 feet!). If you want proof that downtown Tulsa is on the upswing, go sip a hot apple cider and watch the skaters on the jam-packed ice rink. It’s a beautiful thing.
Besides, I think we can all agree that having more family-friendly events downtown is awesome. I attended the event this past Friday with TTP staff photographer Connor Wingfield and a great time was had by all. I strongly recommend it.
Winterfest runs daily and nightly til January 4th, and by popular demand, on Christmas Day from 5-10pm. For a complete schedule and all the awesome info, check out the BOK Center’s Winterfest page.
