We here in the Rose District would like to thank your for your patronage and support. Without visitors to the Rose District we would not be successful. We want to keep it fresh and fun here, so here are a few updates.
Wi-fi in the Rose District:
We have public wi-fi now! To access you will need to select Rose District Free Wi-Fi. A popup should come up then select "Continue to the Internet" and you are all set.
Holidays:
We are charging full steam ahead for the holidays. Below is a calendar of every event being planned so far. Keep an eye out because there is more to come!
It's a Wonderful Life in Broken Arrow
The kick-off to the holidays this year will be on November 19 at 6:00 p.m. This is the night we will be turning on the lights, Santa will be there, the music will change to Christmas, and the holidays begin! The theme this year is “It’s a Wonderful Life in Broken Arrow.” Walking into the Rose District during the holidays is truly a magical experience and we wanted to convey that feeling to our visitors. With safety in mind, things will look slightly different. The night of the lighting we will have Main Street blocked off from Commercial to Dallas, not affecting the intersections. This space will be utilized as an overflow for the restaurants. We will have tables and chairs set out for you to get to-go orders and eat their meals outside. This will help with lines and allow you to spend more time shopping and enjoying rather than standing in line.
Another addition will be socially distanced Santa. Santa is going to bring his spare sleigh for the kids to use! The sleighs will be set 6 feet apart and the camera will be angled so that you will still be able to have that wonderful memory. We will also have a virtual queue to avoid long lines. This virtual queue also means you will have more time to shop!
