As the song title says "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" especially in Old Washington, Ark.  Historic Washington State Park is gearing up for its 28th Annual Christmas and Candlelight event, which will be held December 6th and 13th. The park will be open from 8 a.m to 8 p.m. both days, but to enjoy the thousands of luminaries and special music you may want to wait until later in the afternoon to pay a visit. Tour locations and homes will be adorned in 19th Century style decorations including natural handmade wreaths and swags tailored by park staff and volunteers the week of the event. Evening programming and tours begin at 1 p.m., lighting of the luminaries will take place at dark, and music from groups and choirs throughout the region will begin at 5 p.m.

The famous William’s Tavern Restaurant Christmas Buffet will be served for both lunch and dinner so you don’t have to miss out on that tasty tradition no matter what time you arrive. Whether you choose to stroll the boardwalk streets or take a ride on the horse drawn surrey, you don’t want to miss bringing in the Christmas Season the old fashion way with Historic Washington State Park.
