The 2025 Lights of the Ozarks Parade will begin at 6:30PM on Thursday, December 4th.

Snack & beverage vendors will be on the north side of the Square from 5pm-9pm.

LIGHTS OF THE OZARKS POWERED BY SWEPCO SEASON INFORMATION:
East Street will be closed to traffic from 5-10pm every evening (except Mondays) throughout the Lights of the Ozarks Season. There you can find snack and beverage vendors and Santa’s workshop. Don’t forget to drop your letters to Santa at his mailbox!
(NOTE: Vendors, restrooms, and the Town Center parking deck elevator will not be available on Monday nights during the season to allow staff to rest and recuperate each week.)
Experience Fayetteville and Downtown Fayetteville Coalition give a special thank you to their 2025 season sponsors : SWEPCO, South x Northwest Hospitality, Holden Buildings, Bank of Oklahoma, Raising Cane’s, Fayetteville Town Center, and Theatre Squared.

Installation begins in October and continues through mid-November as workers place over 500,000 LED lights. The display is free and open to the public every evening from 5pm until 1am until January 1st, 2026.
