Capitol Holiday Festivities

Arkansas Secretary of State Charlie Daniels has released the list of events to take place at the Capitol over the holidays, and the events include the traditional lighting ceremony (70th annual), which is slated for next Saturday, December 5, at 4:00 p.m. A fireworks show will cap off the lighting ceremony, which will take place after the conclusion of the Big Jingle Jubilee Downtown Holiday Parade around 5:30 p.m.

The anonymously donated 22-foot tall Christmas tree will arrive Wednesday, December 3. If you're wanting to stroll the halls to view the holiday exhibits or listen to the more than 130 school choirs at the Capitol, the building will hold special holiday hours from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm on weekdays, and 10:00 am to 9:00 pm on weekends.
