Bentonville’s Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is a fantastic visit any time of the year, but there’s one night no Arkansan should miss. The museum is hosting its 6th annual Light Night in less than a month. Make plans to attend this family-friendly nighttime festival. Let’s break out the glow sticks and see what all will be happening at this year’s illuminated wonderland.
One of the best times to visit Crystal Bridges is during their Light Night Party.

Besides making your own glow art, you can become art as well!
