Looking for a pet-friendly outing? Bring your leashed pups to “Light the City” on Monday, Dec. 1, 2025, and stroll through twinkling lights with music, hot cocoa, crafts, Santa and even the Grinch! Don’t forget to bring bags to clean up after your furry friends. From Dec. 2-28, the lights continue as a drive-through experience, perfect for enjoying the holiday magic from the car (with an adjacent dog park available for potty breaks).

Dog treats are handed out to pets to enjoy while viewing the holiday lights, making the event extra special, says Heather Lackey, special events coordinator for Midwest City. “For the dogs who come back multiple times, they recognize us and get so excited; they know they’re getting their treats. It’s just so much fun.”
