About this event
Lights of the Ozarks, powered by SWEPCO, covers Fayetteville's Historic Downtown Square in more than 500,000 LED lights, one of Northwest Arkansas' most treasured holiday traditions. The season opens with Light Night, when the city flips the giant switch to live music and special performances, and the lights then shine every night, free and open to the public. The Lights of the Ozarks Parade later travels from East Street around the Square and north on Block Avenue.
Our take: If you want to see the lights from your car, come on a Monday, the only night East Avenue stays open to traffic around the Square.
Parking
Several public parking lots around downtown Fayetteville. Public restrooms Tuesday–Sunday 5–10 p.m. inside Fayetteville Town Center, 15 W. Mountain St.
