The 1.5-mile journey is along paved roads within the grounds of Arkansas Aeroplex, which was once the Ecker Air Force Base.
Lights of the Delta/Facebook Although this is a light display you drive through, there are also opportunities to get out of your car and walk around the grounds, take a hayride, visit the nativity, or pick up something at a souvenir stand.
Due to current Covid-19 restrictions and guidelines, a few things will be a bit different this year. Specific timeslots for hayrides must be booked and paid for online ahead of your visit as well as add-on orders for hot chocolate and popcorn to enjoy on the ride.
