What better way to say “Out with the old, in with the new” than by throwing a colossal party? Nonprofit community enhancement organization Arts Council OKC welcomed 2017 by throwing another exceptional installment of their annual Opening Night celebration, at which tens of thousands of locals turned out to enjoy live music and entertainment, comedy, magic, kids’ crafts and a giant fireworks show – it was a cool burst of momentum to start off the fresh calendar, as you can see from Shannon Cornman’s pictures. Happy new year!
