Oklahoma Highland Gathering will be coming to Choctaw October 20th - 22nd at Choctaw Creek Park! The 2023 Oklahoma Highland Gathering is an annual Scottish festival that is organized by the United Scottish Clans of Oklahoma and features a variety of activities such as IHGF-sanctioned highland games, pipes and drums, folk and modern Celtic bands, highland dancing, Gaelic lessons, Viking reenactments, clan tents and ancestry resources, food trucks, local breweries, whisky tastings, vendors, blacksmithing, lace tatting, highland cattle (hielan coos) and more. The festival will kick off on Friday night with a fire ceremony (also known as the “calling of the clans”) followed by a traditional ceilidh, a celebration with folk music, singing, dancing, and storytelling.

Choctaw Creek Golf Course is back open to the public. We currently have 12 temporary greens while we let the greens heal from overseeding. Green fees will reflect conditions of the golf course. The mention of temporary greens will likely carry a negative connotation, but it is important to remember that they're being used for good reasons. Whether it's allowing time to recover from damage, protecting greens from damage in the first place, or allowing renovations to happen, the end result of temporary greens is always better playing conditions on the primary surfaces. We appreciate your patience as we continue to make improvements.

It has been a very long wait for the City of Choctaw residents, but the first section of road construction will begin tomorrow! We have signed a contract with Oklahoma County to begin the tear up and repavement of Reno Ave. from Hiwassee to Henney. Please avoid this section of road unless you are a resident within that section. Please be patient as weather can impact the timeline. Please obey traffic and construction signs. Do not drive around or move barriers.
Thank you to Oklahoma County, City of Choctaw staff, City Council, and the community for making this happen!
