Arkansas has some fantastic winter activities to get you in the holiday spirit. We may not have snow but we do have plenty of opportunities to walk through holiday lights, take a train to see the North Pole, and, of course, meet Santa and friends. This particular parade is pretty new to the state but we’re positive it’ll be your new favorite tradition.
The 2nd annual Christmas Boat Parade is this weekend in Hot Springs.
