Pembroke Cottage

Historic Guthrie, Oklahoma

Guthrie's big events through the year

A handful of weekends fill Guthrie's brick streets every year: a Victorian Christmas downtown, the town's Land Run birthday in April, a Renaissance festival, a bluegrass festival in the park, and championship rodeos at the Lazy E Arena.

Pembroke Cottage is six blocks from downtown, so on parade nights and Victorian Walks you can leave the car at the cottage and walk. Up to eight guests have the whole house, with breakfast stocked before you arrive and your hosts next door.

The year at a glance

Late November to December

Territorial Christmas and the Victorian Walks

Guthrie's biggest season. It opens with a lighted Christmas parade downtown, then the Victorian Walks: evenings when the storefronts are decorated, costumed walkers and carolers fill the decorated streets. A tour of distinctive historic homes and the Pollard Theatre's A Territorial Christmas Carol round out the season.

December Saturdays book early. Bring warm layers: the hot tub is waiting when you walk back.

March

Guthrie Renaissance & Fantasy Festival

Two weekends of jousting, artisans, food, live entertainment and historical demonstrations on 80 acres in Guthrie. 2026 was its fifth year. Dates and tickets (opens in a new tab)

'89er Days

Guthrie's celebration of the Land Run of April 22, 1889, the day the town was born. A Saturday parade through downtown, a carnival, an arts and crafts show, a rodeo and the Chuckwagon Feed. This year's schedule (opens in a new tab)
