UCO’s Annual WinterGlow Celebration Brings Holiday Magic to Campus, Dec. 5

Nov. 20, 2025

Holiday lights around Broncho Lake on UCO’s campus.

The University of Central Oklahoma invites the community to celebrate the holiday season at its 27th annual WinterGlow celebration from 6-9 p.m. Friday, Dec. 5. The festivities begin with the Broncho Lake Lighting Ceremony on the north side of the Nigh University Center on Central’s campus.

UCO President Todd G. Lamb, UCO First Lady Monica Lamb and Edmond Mayor Mark Nash will provide opening remarks after a performance by the Stage 405 children's choir, a theatre arts studio that fosters creative excellence in theatre, music, dance and art.

Following the ceremony, the free, family-friendly celebration continues with a winter carnival featuring inflatables, arts and crafts, hot cocoa, cookies, character meet-and-greets, face painting, Santa photos and more.

“It feels surreal and full circle to have gone to WinterGlow as a kid and now being the director of WinterGlow Night,” said Bella Montgomery, a sophomore strategic communications major and vocal performance minor from Edmond, Oklahoma.

“I'm making magic for other people; It’s so much fun and such an honor to do that.”
