Despite the challenges of COVID-19, Gathering Place will once again transform into a Winter Wonderland, but this year’s event will heavily focus on safety and social distancing. Winter Wonderland presented by American Airlines will run every day from December 18th until January 3rd.
This year, Winter Wonderland will be located at and around the ONEOK Boathouse and QuikTrip Great Lawn with socially spaced zones. Guests will walk along our pathways experiencing thousands of twinkling lights, strolling entertainment, and a holiday market with delicious food and seasonal gifts from local small business owners, all located in open, socially distanced areas of the Park.
“We are pleased to carefully bring back Winter Wonderland and provide Tulsans a variety of safe ways to celebrate the holiday season,” says Tony Moore, Executive Director of Gathering Place. “Thank you to our sponsors, American Airlines, which allow us to continue this Tulsa holiday tradition in a safe, socially-distanced manner.”
2020 brings a special new addition to Gathering Place, The North Pole! The ONEOK Boathouse will transform into Santa’s Workshop and will showcase musical performances, live carolers, and special appearances by children’s favorite “Frozen” Princess atop her castle.
Don’t forget! Guests can drop off their letter to Santa at our special North Pole mailbox located outside Williams Lodge now through December 24. Winter Wonderland presented by American Airlines is sure to be a safe holiday tradition the whole family will love!
All Winter Wonderland activities run nightly from 6-9pm and are free and open to the public. For more details, visit gatheringplace.org/events.
The health and safety of Gathering Place guests and staff is our top priority and we will continue to closely follow the recommendations from the CDC and The City of Tulsa.
