There is something magical about downtown Oklahoma City during the holiday season. It's in the crisp winter air, the buzz of activity, and the twinkle of the decorative lights hung seemingly everywhere you look. For at least the last point in this list, Oklahomans can thank the work and planning of the Downtown OKC Partnership. The organization is responsible for pulling off the annual Downtown in December and Lights on Broadway festivities that help make the season so special for many. Jennifer Nakayama, CEO and president of Downtown OKC Partnership, is our guest of the week. She talks about the work it takes to pull off Downtown in December each year, the ideal Christmas music season, and the last Lights on Broadway event of the season, which occurs this Saturday.
Also, the editors discuss their favorite local holiday shopping options in Question of the Week, and podvents are a true blast with the Fort Reno Christmas Guns. We hope you enjoy!
