Bentonville Christmas Parade Returns With Plenty of Holiday Cheer

Bentonville, AR - The magic of the season comes alive in Northwest Arkansas as the 2025 Bentonville Christmas Parade kicks off at 6:00 p.m on Saturday December 13! Families can enjoy more than 100 local floats, musical performances, and beloved holiday characters as they travel down Main Street, ending on the historic Downtown Bentonville Square.

DBI recommends arriving early for the best spots along the parade route—parking downtown can be tricky, so check this link for tips. Roads around the Bentonville Square and along the parade route will begin closing at 5:30 a.m. on Saturday, December 13, and will reopen as the parade makes its way through town. Don’t miss a moment of the festive action!

“Producing the Bentonville Christmas Parade on behalf of the city is a true privilege for our nonprofit. Watching families return year after year — alongside new faces experiencing it for the first time — is a powerful reminder of why this tradition holds such a special place in our community,” said Downtown Bentonville Inc. Executive Director Dana Schlagenhaft.
New this year, Brock Entertainment will be stationed on the veranda at the Bentonville Public Library, making announcements and spinning holiday music to enhance the parade experience.

As a gift to the community, Downtown Bentonville Inc.'s TV show, DWTN Now, will be on location to capture all the sparkle and excitement of the parade! From dazzling floats to lively holiday performances and family fun, the special program brings the magic right into your living room. Tune in on Arkansas CW on Christmas Eve from 9:30-10:30 p.m. and again on Christmas morning from 8:00–9:00 a.m. on 40/29 News—the perfect way to kick off the holiday celebrations with joy and cheer.

Complete with lights, cameras, and a full production setup, a Mainstage will be located at the corner of North Main Street and NW 2nd Street. For guests hoping to make an appearance on the 2025 Bentonville Christmas Parade Highlight Show, this is the place to be. Before the parade, three special performances will be filmed at the Mainstage: Lasya Rasa School of Dance, LADD Squad Steppers, and local musician Payton Joy.

The 2025 Bentonville Christmas Parade is proudly co-presented by Superior Automotive Group and PepsiCo, whose support helps make this cherished community tradition possible. Thanks to their generosity, families can enjoy a safe, fun-filled evening full of holiday cheer, music, and festive surprises for all ages.

The 2025 Bentonville Christmas Parade Highlight Show is made possible thanks to our sponsors, Albanese, The OP Games, Hershey’s, Benebone, and Motto by Hilton, Bentonville.

The Bentonville Christmas Parade is produced by the non-profit organization Downtown Bentonville Incorporated, with support from community partners: the Walton Family Foundation, the City of Bentonville, and Visit Bentonville.
