As OKC continues to improve and gain major inroads on our capital development, it's time we start looking at additional ways to attract folks to our city.

A friend posted a video on her fb account the other day, and I got to thinking, with the new lights at the MBG (and potentially on the Devon tower), wouldn't it be a fabulous idea to step it up a notch and create something similar to their annual festival of lights in Sydney, Australia, VIVID SYDNEY.

I'm linking to the main website here, but there are lots of user-posted participant videos up on youtube that are just mind blowing.

I'd love to see Downtown OKC or another similar entity take this on as a counter-balance to Downtown in December. A great summer, outdoor downtown event, with lots of activities around by the Civic Center and City Hall, Gardens, Automobile Alley, Bricktown and the Oklahoma River.
