Parade route will impact local businesses, highlight OK resilience after bombing
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) –The Oklahoma City Thunder's championship parade route will present opportunities for multiple businesses to welcome thousands of fans, and showcase the city's resilience 30 years after the Oklahoma City bombing. The parade starts at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday. The route starts at NW 10th Street and N. Harvey Avenue and heads south on Harvey, west on NW 5th Street, south on N. Walker Avenue, east on Oklahoma City Boulevard, south on S. Robinson Avenue, and ends at Scissortail Park. Cross streets and other surrounding streets will be closed. News 4 visited multiple locations along the route Monday to hear from those who work at locations or for business thousands of fans will be packed inside and outside of. Our crews started with NW 10th Street and N. Harvey Avenue, visiting a business just west of the intersection called Nazo Japanese Cuisine. What you need to know about the Thunder victory parade 'We're ready,' said Quan Liu, who works at Nazo. 'I hope tomorrow, you know, gonna be a festival.' Liu said Nazo only opened less than a week ago. It will open at noon Tuesday, and will be able to accommodate around 50 customers inside at once. The parade route is expected to last a few hours, and Liu is hopeful fans will use the extra time to grab a bite to eat. 'You know, we're still doing out best to, trying to bring customers in,' said Liu. A spokesperson for The Collective Food Hall, directly on the corner of NW 10th Street and N. Harvey Avenue told News 4 Monday it would not open its doors for business Monday morning. The spokesperson said The Collective will instead opt for a 5:00 p.m. opening slot instead. The parade route's path continues south down N. Harvey Avenue to NW 5th Street, meaning it passes right in front of the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum. 'We're really honored that they chose the memorial to go past,' said Kari Watkins, President and CEO of the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum. Earlier this year, Oklahoma City remembered the 30 years it's been since the dark day which saw 168 lives lost in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building. The tragedy led to the adoption of the Oklahoma Standard, the memorial and museum itself, as well as the annual Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon. 'I think it's remarkable that people around the world can look at a city that was torn apart by terrorism, has been put back together one life at a time, one family at a time, one team at a time, and we're celebrating the NBA championship,' said Watkins. 'It's really quite remarkable.' Some of the victims families have put Thunder shirts on the chairs built on the site to remember and honor each victim. One shirt includes a tribute from the loved ones of W. Stephen Williams. 'Dear Dad,' the tribute reads. 'Thank you for teaching me to be a good fan-loyal and supportive. I miss you each day, but today is hard. I wish we could cheer on the Thunder together. You would get so much joy from this team. Win or lose, they are the best team, and this is the best city. Let's go Thunder.' Watkins said moments like Tuesday's parade will never bring the lives lost back, but allows the city to see how far its come. 'This is really such a site of darkness 30 years ago, and so in that 30th year, to be able to celebrate life and celebrate hope and the strength that came out of a united city, I think is a really special kind of just very powerful story of just how when we're together and working together, we see great things,' said Watkins. From NW 5th Street the route continues west to Walker Avenue. The area rarely sees attention on game days according to Oklahoma City business managers News 4 spoke with Monday, including Hobby's Hoagies General Manager DJ Forshee. 'We got extra water stocked up and, you know, even if, we have an Edmond location, if we have to bring in more product from our location, we will,' said Forshee. Forshee said Hobby's Hoagies typically opens at 10:30 a.m., but is considering an earlier opening if the demand is there. Forshee said Tuesday isn't just about the money, but the memories. 'It's definitely a heartfelt moment, something, you know, I can share with even my children,' said Forshee. After the route goes south towards SW 3rd Street/Oklahoma City Boulevard, it then goes east, passing Scissortail Park, and veering south again next to the Paycom Center and the Omni Hotel. 'It does feel like a holiday for most,' said Omni OKC Marketing Manager Lauren Fox. 'While it is a holiday and it's something huge to celebrate, we are still ready to go, all heads on deck you know, doing what we can to make sure that everyone is having a good time and being safe at the same time.' Fox said the hotel will only be open to registered guests to avoid overcrowding and protect the safety of guests. Fox said the Omni has been a proud partner with the Oklahoma City Thunder and it's a great feeling to be a small part of such a historic moment. 'We are Oklahoma City and we're growing and we're awesome,' said Fox. 'And this is just going to propel it even further, and, you know, we're just excited to be a part of that.'

Oklahoma Standard: Thunder celebration comes full circle 30 years after OKC bombing
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – 30 years separate two of the most unforgettable days in Oklahoma City's history, and Tuesday, the city's resilience was honored for it. In 1995, a terrorist attack outside of the Murrah federal building claimed 168 lives, including children, and injured others. The Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum has spent the past several months of 2025 remembering the victims and reflecting on how far Oklahoma City has come. Parade route will impact local businesses, highlight OK resilience after bombing Tuesday marked a celebratory parade for the Oklahoma City Thunder after winning Game 7 of the NBA Finals Sunday. The two-mile stretch of the parade route started at NW 10th Street and N. Harvey Avenue and headed south on Harvey to NW 5th Street. Although the celebration concluded in Scissortail Park, the early portion of the route meant it crossed right in front of the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum. 'We've been commemorating and celebrating that for the last six months, and so this really is just part of that, I think, and the fact that it's happened during this 30th year, I don't think it's by accident,' said Kari Watkins, President and CEO of the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum. News 4 cameras captured hundreds of people gathered along the perimeter of the memorial grounds, paying respect to the victims by staying away from the memorial's reflection pool and chairs placed to honor each victim of the bombing. Thunder fans swarm downtown to celebrate during the Champions parade 'It almost brought me to tears,' said Patti Smithhart, who visited the memorial for the first time Tuesday from Texas. Smithhart described the 1995 bombing as undoubtedly the low point of Oklahoma City's life, but said she felt like the parade celebration was one of the high points. The city's love for the Oklahoma City Thunder can even be felt and seen across the memorial grounds. Families of victims have placed Thunder shirts on some of the victims' chairs, including one shirt with a handwritten tribute. News 4 asked Smithhart how she felt when she read the tribute. 'Timothy McVeigh robbed Sara and Eli and lots of other children of their mothers and fathers, and their lives were forever changed, and that's a terrible thing. That's a terrible thing,' said Smithhart. In all of the bad, visiting the grounds still, so many years later, offers a chance for Oklahomans and visitors alike to have hope, see the strength, and remember the city's darkest chapter now framed in light. 'I think that's a beautiful thing,' said Paul Stepusin, who visited the memorial from Florida. 'They're still in their hearts, and it's important that they can show that way. I think that's a reflection of that. Love is still there inside our hearts.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
