The Mesmerizing Christmas Display In Arkansas With Over 750,000 Glittering Lights
The weather may be unpredictable in Arkansas but you can always count on the families with epic decorations. We all know of a house or two that are worth the drive to see their incredible displays. There’s one particular family in Fayetteville that may have the best and biggest display in the whole state. Let’s take a tour of the Stewart Family’s light display to see some of this year’s features.
It's an acre and a half of Christmas magic.
The family begins setting up at the end of August and works until Thanksgiving.
Carlin Stewart made the point that it's cheaper to buy trailers than to rent storage units.
The inflatables include classic Christmas characters, Disney, Star Wars, and more.
It now takes about 30-45 minutes to see everything in the display.
The train has six, 8-ft. long carts that hold 24 people and runs on 132-ft. track. Train tickets are $2.
120,000 lights are wrapped around trees and make up a 40-ft. light wall.
Families can enjoy camel rides, snack stand (coffee, hot cocoa and popcorn), and kids can drop off their letters to Santa.
The man in orange is one of the hosts of the show, Carter Oosterhouse. The family is featured in season 5, episode 2. Unfortunately, a family from Texas won the fight but the Stewarts are still our favorite.
The Stewart Family Light Display is located at 4423 Wyman Road in Fayetteville. The display is open nightly from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Parking is a $3 donation.
To see some of the magic, watch their promo video from last year:
