Calling all holiday enthusiasts and light lovers! Gather your mittens and scarves because the much-anticipated Lights of the Ozarks Light Night is set to dazzle Downtown Fayetteville this Friday, Nov. 22, starting at 6 p.m.

This year, the illumination event has separated from its traditional Parade, which will now be taking over the streets on Dec. 5. But don't let that stop you from kicking off your holiday season with a sparkle. The Light Night is sure to shine just as bright!

As you plan your visit to bask in the glow of over half a million twinkling lights, let's talk parking. The Downtown Square will close at 3 p.m. to bid farewell to parked cars and prepare for the evening's festivities. But fret not, festive friends! All nearby parking lots and decks will remain open to ensure you have a spot to tuck away your sleigh for the evening.

The only carriages that will need to find alternative parking spaces are those on the street on the square – those will be off-limits. And for those who need a little extra assistance, never fear! All nearby lots and decks have accessible parking spots.

Now, for all of you tech-savvy elves, if you’d like to pre-plan your parking strategy or if you’re just curious about the rates, hop on your digital devices and navigate to fayetteville-ar.gov/parking for all the details.

So mark your calendars, set your reminders, and let's light up the night in Northwest Arkansas! Come down to West Dickson Street in Fayetteville and join us for an evening filled with cheer, lights, and maybe even a touch of Christmas magic. See you under the glow! 🎄✨
