Arkansas State Capitol Building — Attraction in Little Rock

We just happened to be in Little Rock on the same weekend as the Capital Lighting and Fireworks. What a fun and exciting Tradition! We stopped at a local restaurant (The Blisspoint Family Grill) and got food to take to the outdoor lighting. On the back side of the Capital very near our parking spot were dozens of picnic tables. We sat and enjoyed our dinner and watched the amazing fireworks show! And when the Grand Finale came and all the building's lights came on we cheered out loud and yelled "Merry Christmas" along with many other visitors.

We especially enjoyed the "window displays" full of stories and histories of many beloved Christmas traditions. Everyone was so friendly and festive. WELL DONE, ARKANSAS; YOU...

This should be on your list to see when in...
