About Lanterns

Your
evening of entertainment preserves our 105 acres of green space in west
Little Rock and nurtures the next generation of artists in Arkansas!

Lanterns is west Little Rock's most popular outdoor festival! Each
year, we celebrate the food, music, crafts, and performing arts of a new
combination of world cultures, fantasy lands, and one US city. Come
explore the beautiful outdoor lights along our woodland trails! You can
even light your own lantern and float it onto our lake for good luck!

Lanterns is also the major annual fundraising event for Wildwood Park for the Arts.

Your ticket and concessions purchases help us:
Preserve the natural beauty of our trails and gardens

Provide nature, arts, and music education classes to children and adults

Bring you more concerts, stage shows, and community festivals

Keep the park free to the public year-round
