Shortly before Thanksgiving, Sapulpa’s Chamber of Commerce canceled the Sapulpa Christmas Parade, in a response to rising Coronavirus cases. The cancelation was announced “with great regret,” and was met with a mixture of approval and criticism. It was the first time in memory that the parade had been canceled in over 100 years.
There are still several holiday-themed events happening in the area, however—including a parade or two. Here’s what’s on the calendar, starting tomorrow. (Do you have an event you want us to add? Contact us to let us know.)
Sapulpa Main Street’s “Cookie Crawl” is the first of its annual “Jingle and Mingle” celebration for 2020. The Cookie Crawl happens Thursday, December 3rd, from 5:30 to 8:00 pm. There are a very small amount of Cookie Kits left to purchase for this. Buy yours or get more details here.
Lowder Colours Farm is having its first Holiday Bazaar at the Banquet Hall at the Creek County Fairgrounds on Saturday, December 5th, at 9:00 am. The event will feature crafts, gifts and local artisans of all kinds. More details on that here.
Kellyville giving away nearly 200 bicycles after its parade
Kellyville, for its part, is stepping up the festivities this year, not only providing a parade, but also featuring several other events the same day. Here is what Kellyville has planned for Sunday, December 6th:
2:00 pm – A judging and award for best decorated Christmas yard.

Officials at Kellyville say they have extended the length of the parade to Ash Street in order to to help with social distancing, and are recommending attendees wear a mask.
