Light Up Conway

As with many traditions in 2020, our annual #ConwayChristmas celebration will look a little different this year. As we have learned in the past few months, challenges can lead to new opportunities – new opportunities to connect, to innovate, and to celebrate. While Rogers Plaza will still play host to Conway’s Christmas Tree and several selfie opportunities, this year’s Chick-fil-A and Baptist Health – Conway Illuminate includes new activities that are designed to bring a piece of #ConwayChristmas from Rogers Plaza to your home.
#ConwayChristmas TV Special
Instead of coming downtown to Rogers Plaza for the lighting of Conway’s Christmas Tree, celebrate the start of the Christmas season from home with a #ConwayChristmas special on Saturday, November 28. In addition to the tree lighting the special will include music from the Conway Symphony Orchestra, reading of The Christmas Story, and several holiday segments. It will air at 6:00 pm and again at 6:30 pm on Conway Corporation Channel 5. If you miss it on Saturday, the special will air on KTHV – Channel 11 on Monday, November 30 at 7:30 pm.
