Is There a Cruise Night in Poteau Tonight?

The Poteau Chamber of Commerce puts on Positively Poteau Cruise Night. Starting at 7 PM, classic cars, trucks, motorcycles and cruisers make laps up and down Broadway through downtown Poteau, and people line the street to watch.

It is usually the first Friday of the month, but dates can move for holidays and weather. Some months have a theme, like the October cruise night when cars were decorated for Halloween and kids came dressed up. Call the Chamber at (918) 647-9178 or check its Facebook page for the next one.

Myers Drive-In on North Broadway has been a carhop drive-in since 1972, with burgers, coney dogs, tots and sundaes brought right to your car window. It fits right in with a night of classic cars.

Rough Day Brew Co. is a small craft brewery on South Witte Street, a block off Broadway, with a family-friendly taproom. It is usually open Thursday through Saturday evenings, so check its Facebook page for hours.

Wister Lake Lights on the Island opens Friday, November 20, and the Poteau Chamber lists it nightly from 6 PM through December 25.

The Poteau Christmas Parade is Saturday, December 5, at 6 PM. This year's theme is All American Christmas. The parade starts at Carl Albert State College, goes down McKenna, then turns onto Dewey Avenue downtown. Park along the route on McKenna or Dewey or in the downtown public lots. To enter a float, register with the Chamber by noon on December 5.
