Christmas Parade of Lights

Join us for one of Eureka Springs’ most beloved holiday traditions — the Christmas Parade of Lights! As evening falls, the historic downtown streets will come alive with dazzling lights, festive floats, marching bands, costumed walkers, and plenty of holiday cheer. This year’s merry theme is “Scrooge,” so get ready for a delightful mix of Dickensian charm and Christmas spirit!

Parade Highlights

Floats, walkers, and performers illuminated by thousands of sparkling lights
Themed entries celebrating the joy of the season
Marching bands and musical performances to fill the streets with holiday magic
A special appearance by Santa Claus himself—straight from the North Pole!
(Please, no additional Santas — we’ve confirmed the real one will be there!)

Those wishing to have their entry judged must register in advance to receive a participant number.

All are welcome to this FREE family-friendly event!
