{Guthrie, Oklahoma}- Guthrie’s Territorial Christmas Foundation presents a series of events taking place in Guthrie’s Historic Downtown. Below is our list of events with dates, locations and details.
Opening Night: Featuring DOUBLE Shop Guthrie & Win tickets for Small Business Saturday, Lighted Christmas Parade & Territorial Governor Ceremonies- November 25, 2023. Every year, on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, we host Opening Night in historic downtown Guthrie. In conjunction with Small Business Saturday, patrons will receive DOUBLE entries in the Shop Guthrie & Win Raffle! Every $20 you spend at participating Guthrie businesses will get you TWO raffle tickets instead of one for a chance to win up to $3,000. Then, our main streets downtown are sectioned off at 3:00 pm to prepare for the Lighted Parade that kicks off at 6:00 p.m. from the Scottish Rite Temple. From there the illuminated cars, trucks, dune buggies, and even be-lighted people head west along Oklahoma Avenue. The Parade ends at the Publishing Museum and is immediately followed by the Territorial Governor Ceremonies where we find out who bought the 2023-2024 Territorial Governor’s Race! This is a FREE event. There truly is something going on for everyone this year at Guthrie’s Territorial Christmas Celebrations: Opening Night! Find more information here.
