More than 100 holiday-themed floats flowed through downtown for Saturday’s 99th annual Tulsa Christmas Parade. 

Hundreds of paradegoers of all ages didn’t let the cold weather ruin the holiday fun. Candy was tossed, Batman rode through on a Gotham PD car, and a giant Smurf and Golden Driller awed the crowd before Santa and Mrs. Claus closed it out. This year’s installment was themed “Oklahome for the Holidays.”
