TULSA, Okla. - PennZone -- Christmas spirit is in full swing for the volunteers and committee members of one very popular Green Country tradition.

The 2022 Tulsa Christmas Parade will take place on Saturday, December 10th, 2022, at 11:00 AM. The parade will entertain spectators lining the streets while Art Deco-themed floats, giant balloons, bands, and Santa himself in his newly designed float go by, bringing Christmas joy to the streets of downtown Tulsa.

This year's parade is sure to be a sensational celebration of Tulsa's rich Art Deco history and culture dating back to the 1920s. The parade will feature floats adorned with festive decorations inspired by the art deco style that flourished in Tulsa during the 1920s, the decade the Tulsa Christmas Parade was founded.

Paul M. Ross, Vice President of American Waste Control, said, "Kenny just got off the phone with the North Pole, and Santa's elves were very excited to hear the news. Kenny just asked them to help design a brand new float for Santa Claus to ride in the Tulsa Christmas Parade. The elves got to work right away. They couldn't wait to see Santa's reaction when he saw it."

The Tulsa Christmas Parade invites the public to come on down to Downtown Tulsa on December 10th at 11:00 AM to celebrate our beloved and beautiful city! Art Deco the Halls and experience the joy of Christmas in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Jessica Gullo, director of the Tulsa Christmas Parade, said of this year's theme, "In the 1920s, Tulsa was in a booming era of prosperity, and Art Deco buildings became a sign of the creativity of city's founders, as well as a way of using that prosperity to paint a beautiful landscape in our own downtown. These beautiful buildings are a lasting legacy for us to enjoy today. Now, nearly 100 years later, we will pass by many of the same buildings our parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents, waited in front of with anticipation throughout the years. We will celebrate our city's architectural art with a theme of 'Art Deco the Halls' and want to invite local businesses, churches, and community groups to join us with their own floats dazzling with Christmas-themed, Art Deco, motifs."

As always, the parade is free to attend, and we hope businesses from all around Tulsa and Oklahoma will join us by participating in this year's parade. Today, entries are officially open for organizations that would like to participate in the parade. Applications are available at www.TulsaChristmasParade.org
