The lights are going up and the most magical season is here. Celebrate the Lights of the Ozarks parade at Walton Arts Center on Friday, Nov. 22 from 5-8 pm.

Warm up with hot cocoa and snap photos in the decorated lobby to kick off the holiday season.

Each year Fayetteville Parks and Recreation workers spend over 3,300 hours decorating the Downtown Square with over 400,000 lights. The amazing winter wonderland of lights on the Downtown Square begin Friday, November 22, at 6 p.m. with the lighting night parade. And this year, the parade route is extending with a pass by the Fayetteville Public Library, Historic Downtown Square and down Dickson Street, with a final turn by Walton Arts Center.

During the parade, Walton Arts Center’s team will have a hot chocolate stand on the Tyson Plaza and A Christmas Story themed gift tags and coloring sheets. Bring your family to sit out on the steps for the best view up Dickson Street, take some family photos in the lobby with all of the holiday decor and if someone needs to hit the restroom, Walton Arts Center will be open to the public.

Delight in this holiday tradition at the corner of Dickson and West with all of the amenities to make it a fun holiday night out.
