About this event

The City of North Little Rock lights its Christmas tree in Argenta Plaza on Tuesday, November 17, at 6 pm. Expect Christmas carols, hot cocoa and the moment the tree comes on.

Come early to donate. The city is collecting canned goods for the unsheltered community and items for the North Little Rock Animal Shelter, and a QR code on the city's flyer lists what the shelter needs. The North Little Rock Animal Mobile Unit will be there, and THV11 will broadcast live from the event.

Parent tip: Check the shelter's list on the city's flyer, pack a few canned goods or shelter items, and come before 6 pm to drop them off. It is an outdoor evening event in November, so bring coats and hats for the kids.
