Why is Chickasha Christmas Town?

Chickasha, Oklahoma, isn’t just a place that celebrates Christmas – it lives it. Known for our iconic Festival of Light, a tradition that draws visitors from across the country, Chickasha transforms into a festive wonderland filled with dazzling displays, community warmth, and holiday cheer. From the historic downtown adorned with twinkling lights to unique events like the Bow District, where businesses unite under a shared spirit of joy, Chickasha embodies the magic of the season. Here, Christmas isn’t just a holiday – it’s who we are. That’s why Chickasha is proudly known as Christmas Town USA.

The Bows That Unite Us

What started as a plan to line Chickasha’s streets with festive red bows took an unexpected turn when a storm damaged the decorations. Instead of letting the setback dim the holiday spirit, the Chickasha Chamber invited local businesses to display the bows as a symbol of their belief in Christmas Town.

The response was overwhelming—within hours, businesses across Chickasha claimed the bows, turning them into a powerful symbol of unity and holiday cheer. Now, the bows proudly decorate storefronts throughout the city, showcasing the community’s resilience and commitment to spreading the magic of Christmas.
