With the bragging rights of “largest lighting display in the Mid-South,” it’s easy to see what makes Blytheville the twinkliest town in Arkansas. The whole town has plenty of Christmas cheer but there’s no better place to see the lights than at their signature event: Lights of the Delta. Let’s pack in the car and drive along this illuminating trail.
The town of Blytheville is absolutely brimming with holiday spirit.

It’d be a “bright” idea to go visit the town’s immense holiday light display.

Lights of the Delta shines with over six million lights and nearly 50 displays.

In midst of the trees, santas, and nutcrackers resides a heartwarming tradition. The Legacies in Lights is a collection of stars and angels dedicated to loved ones no longer with us or to honor our veterans.
