Shining a light on Arkansas at Christmas
The Arkansas Trail of Holiday Lights is shining brightly and is on until the year-end as part of state-wide celebration of the holiday season.
Towns right across the Natural State are taking part with events and activities.
Displays in many locations will be lit into the new year, offering a fun way to hit the road and explore a state relatively few international travellers get to see. From Little Rock to Texarkana, each Arkansas town showcases its own unique Southern charm at Christmas.
