Face paint, twinkling lights, ice skating, and a whole lot of giggles. 🎄✨

Some of our favorite memories from last year's Christmas in Okeechobee came from the little ones who made Flagler Park their holiday playground. ❤️

And this year, we'd love to give them even more to look forward to!

Does your nonprofit, church, school, or community group have a fun idea for kids? A cookie decorating table, a craft station, a holiday story time, a letters-to-Santa booth… whatever it is, we have the perfect spot for it. 👀

Flagler Park is ready to host! 🎅

Whether it's a fundraiser, a one-night activity, or something completely your own, your organization can help create the kind of holiday moments families remember for years. And with the Christmas Festival & Parade on December 12th, there's no better time to bring your idea to life downtown. 🎄

Let's fill the park with laughter, community, and Christmas spirit this December!

Our phones have been blowing up… and we love it! 📱🎄

The excitement is real, and it's already building. ✨

Last year, downtown Okeechobee saw 110,000+ visits during the Christmas season. That's 110,000+ chances for someone to walk past your storefront, grab a bite to eat, stop in, or discover a local business they didn't know existed.

This year, that same crowd is coming back, and we want your business to be part of what they experience. ❤️

Getting involved doesn't have to be complicated. A decorated window, a festive photo op, a hot cocoa station, or a spot on the Lights Map can give people one more reason to stop in.

Moments like these are what make Christmas in Okeechobee so special, local businesses and organizations bringing something unforgettable to the park for families to enjoy.

So now we want to hear from YOU… 👀
