15 Homes & Neighborhoods To See Christmas Lights This Year (2023)
Many Arkansans love decorating their homes for the holidays, and there’s no end of excellent lighting displays.
Some people go all out in terms of expressing their love of lights. Newer development in technology has made it much easier for homeowners to incorporate some exciting features into their displays, including all sorts of colors and other effects. Some displays are also synced to music, which is pretty cool to watch!
For those who want to see the best lighting displays around and visit various NWA neighborhoods, we’ve chosen some of our favorites.
Bentonville
Lights on Hayfield
1811 Southwest Hayfield Avenue Bentonville, AR 72713
Open from 6pm – 10pm nightly (10:30pm Fri & Sat).
If you were able to visit Bentonville Heart Lites in the past, you may recognize some of the props, like the bells and ornaments! While we’ll miss Heart Lites, it’s nice to see some of their decorations live on through Lights on Hayfield. The display runs until Jan. 1, and visitors can see hundreds of lights that are synced to music on 87.9 FM.
Winter Wonderland
Bentonville Square, 100 N Main St, Bentonville
Go walking in a Winter Wonderland in Downtown Bentonville. In addition to the beautiful Christmas lighting and décor, Downtown Bentonville will be hosting a parade on 12/9 at 6pm. Community Coffee will be making a return with their coffee truck to hand out warm coffee!

Visitors to this display at 10537 Oak Tree Circle in Rogers are in for a treat. The family goes all out with plenty of lights that you can walk around and enjoy or drive through in your car.
