Why just watch a holiday movie at home when you could enjoy the most festive, live performances at Walton Arts Center this holiday season? Walton Arts Center has shows that are guaranteed to bring the holly-jolly spirit to anyone.
Welcome the holidays with a cheerful, family-friendly performance that all ages can enjoy. Lorrie Morgan is bringing her Enchanted Christmas Tour to Northwest Arkansas on Friday, Dec. 1 at 8 pm. Drawing upon childhood memories of her father performing at the Grand Ole Opry during Christmastime, Morgan’s old-fashioned holiday performance will feature classic holiday tunes and carols. Tickets start at $35.
Looking for more family-friendly holiday shows? The Snowman: A Family Concert and The Polar Express are both guaranteed to be fun for the whole family.

If a non-traditional holiday show is more to your liking the Squirrel Nut Zippers will transport you into a world where Christmas lights meet the allure of a speakeasy. Led by extraordinarily creative Jimbo Mathus, the group infuses their performances with 1920s jazz, klezmer and vaudeville influences, resulting in a truly original, holly-jolly, Southern-roots sound. Grab your kettle corn, your favorite holiday sweater and join us for the festivities on Tuesday, Dec. 19 at 7 pm. Tickets start at $25.
¡Feliz Navidad! You are invited to a holiday show that blends Mexican and American Christmas favorites, all performed by Latin Grammy®-nominated Mariachi Herencia de México.

Taking the stage on Thursday, Dec. 21 at 7 pm, this is a holiday celebration the whole family will adore, and tickets are just $10.
