Plan your visit around can’t-miss moments like the Chickasha Christmas Parade (Sat., Dec. 6, 6–8 PM), the Festival of Light Bike Ride (Fri., Dec. 12, 6 PM), and December at the Depot with the Santa Shuttle (Dec. 5–6, 12–13, 19–20, 5:30–10:30 PM). Whether you drive through or bundle up and walk the displays, it’s a holiday tradition that feels like pure Chickasha.
