The holidays are almost upon us, and North Little Rock is here for it. Complementing a “sleigh” of holiday events for all of Central Arkansas to enjoy – including North Little Rock’s annual Northern Lights holiday celebration and North Little Rock Sertoma Christmas Parade – is an array of holiday shopping options with nearby dining and locations for family holiday photos. Stop by the North Little Rock Welcome Center for gift baskets of local products and check out our 38-foot Christmas tree at Argenta Plaza.
