For 14 years, the Stewart Family has been creating a Christmas festival of lights for children to enjoy. To celebrate the solstice, I took a friend who had never been to the Stewart Family Christmas Light Display. We had fun strolling among the children who were dancing with glee for this merry celebration of Christmas for kids of all ages.
Here’s a sampling of the amazing display which has grown from 3000 lights and 2 inflatables in 2003 to over 375,000 lights and over 250 inflatables for 2016! You will find bountiful Christmas characters including many Santas, elves, reindeer, Charlie Brown, and even the Grinch. This year the donations from visitors funded a toy drive for local kids in need. Santa visits most nights and there is also a drop box for letters to Santa. If you’re local, come join the fun. If not, this might be another good reason to visit Northwest Arkansas.
I hope your holidays are filled with Merry Adventures! 🎄🎅

Thanks GP. I’ve heard many people talking about how hard this year was. Maybe the celebrating is a response and hope to turn things around. Blessings for the new year.
