Luminary Tradition Continues in Quapaw-Prospect District

Downtown’s luminaries draw enthusiastic holiday crowds.

The Quapaw-Prospect Area Preservation (QPAP) luminary tradition continues Saturday, December 9. Over five thousand luminaries will line the streets in the historic Quapaw-Prospect neighborhood to illuminate the night with twinkling lights, weather permitting.

The Quapaw-Prospect luminary display has been one of Hot Springs’ most popular outdoor holiday traditions since it began. The annual event draws hundreds of local and out of town visitors who either drive through or stroll the historic neighborhood to view the streets lined with glowing luminaries.

The public is invited to join in making this year’s celebration the best event ever. Volunteers will be placing luminaries at the curbside of every home and lighting the candles at dusk. Interested in helping out with preparations? For questions or to volunteer, visit Facebook: Quapaw/Prospect Historic Neighborhood.
