Oklahoma Park, east of intersection of U.S. 81 and Oklahoma 33



Arguably one of the best lighting displays in the state, visitors come from all around Oklahoma to see what Kingfisher in Lights organizers have done to carry on the tradition. This is the 14th year for the display that costs about $22,000 to maintain.

The organization responsible for the huge display in the city’s park began a move toward switching to energy-efficient lighting displays this year.
