Ardmore, Oklahoma shines at the holidays with the Festival of Lights, Parade of Lights, and year-round events at the Ardmore Convention Center and Regional Park.
There’s something special happening in Ardmore in every season, but when the holidays arrive, the city truly shines.
At the center of many of Ardmore’s gatherings is the Ardmore Convention Center. Conveniently located near I-35, the Convention Center welcomes conferences, weddings, banquets, trade shows, celebrations and special events throughout the year. Its location next to Ardmore Regional Park gives visitors easy access to recreation and creates a unique setting where meetings, events and outdoor experiences come together.
That connection becomes especially magical during the holiday season. Each winter, Regional Park transforms for the Ardmore Festival of Lights, one of southern Oklahoma’s largest holiday light displays. Families can drive through 1.5 miles of vibrant Christmas lights and more than 125 animated displays, creating a holiday tradition for visitors of all ages.
The celebration continues downtown with the annual Ardmore Parade of Lights. Main Street comes alive with illuminated floats, music, holiday-themed vehicles and plenty of Christmas spirit. Paired with seasonal events and shopping throughout the Depot District, the holidays offer visitors even more reasons to experience Ardmore.
Beyond the holiday season, outdoor adventure is never far away. Lake Murray State Park offers boating, swimming, hiking, fishing and camping, while local farmers markets, including Murray Market and Mercy Market, provide opportunities to shop local, discover fresh finds and connect with the community.
Visitors can make a full weekend of it, pairing an event or conference with local dining, downtown shopping and time outdoors. With so much located within an easy drive, Ardmore makes it simple to experience more during every stay.
Whether you’re attending an event at the Ardmore Convention Center, exploring Lake Murray on a summer afternoon or making memories beneath thousands of Christmas lights, Ardmore offers something worth experiencing in every season.
