Holiday Lights 2022

The University of Oklahoma hosted its annual Holiday Lights event at Burr Park on Dec. 1. The event included the lighting of the Christmas tree, a Menorah, and the Star and Crescent moon. Guests were treated to hot chocolate, performances of traditional holiday songs, and even a visit from Santa Claus!
