Copy of Bright the Night

Kick off the holiday season in the heart of Little Rock at Bright the Night, downtown's annual holiday celebration at the Capitol Plaza.

Gather your family and friends for an evening filled with twinkling lights, live holiday music, festive entertainment, sweet treats, and plenty of holiday cheer. Enjoy performances from Arkansas bluegrass band The Gravel Yard, fiddler Mike Walters, and his fiddle-playing puppet, old-fashioned caroling, and appearances from Santa Claus, Elsa, and other holiday characters.

Then, join the community for the evening's biggest moment as we count down together and light downtown Little Rock's Christmas tree at 6 p.m.

Bright the Night is free and open to everyone, so bundle up, come downtown, and help us officially welcome the holiday season!
