Join the community for the City of Benton’s Tree Lighting ceremony at the Downtown Benton Farmers Market. This event, at 6pm on Friday, December 2nd is the kickoff to a list of holiday events that are part of the City of Benton’s Small Town Christmas.
Benton Mayor Tom Farmer will once again select and cut a large tree and have it brought to be planted on the lawn at the Farmers Market, near the River Street entrance. The City will have ornaments so community members can help decorate the tree.
After the switch is flipped and the tree is lit, Saline County Judge-elect Matt Brumley will read the Christmas Story to children. There will also be a live performance by Doxa Arts Academy.
Have your children write letters to Santa and Mayor Farmer will take them to put all the letters in the “mailbox.”
The Downtown Benton Farmers Market is located at 125 W. Ashley Street. Visit Benton, Arkansas – Benton Proud to stay updated on the event.
