NORTH LITTLE ROCK — North Little Rock Tourism will host the 2024 Northern Lights Holiday Festival from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 23, at Argenta Plaza at 510 Main Street in North Little Rock.

“You won’t want to miss one of North Little Rock’s largest events of the year,” said Stephanie Slagle, North Little Rock Tourism’s VP of Marketing & Communications, “there will be pictures with Santa, live music, and a holiday market making Northern Lights your one-stop holiday shop!”

A free holiday event for all ages, Northern Lights will have a holiday market, “Santa’s Workshop,” with kids’ holiday activities, photos with Santa (Black Santa ARK LLC), live music, and North Little Rock’s 38-foot Christmas tree.
