Christmas Tree Forest in Downtown Texarkana, Arkansas

The Rail Yard Entertainment District in downtown Texarkana, Arkansas, comes alive with the spirit of Christmas during the holiday season! Crossties, an event and music venue in Texarkana, sets up a forest of Christmas trees in downtown Texarkana and puts on a Christmas Tree Decorating Contest! Residents, businesses, and other organizations sponsor their own tree and personally decorate it. The final result is a fantastic, cheerful scene in downtown Texarkana with a field full of decorated, lit-up Christmas trees for the entire community and visitors to enjoy.

The best part of all: It's for a great cause, serving as a fundraiser for the Hold on to Your Britches Foundation, a local non-profit created to provide Christmas to kids in need in the area.
