Lite up the Nite at Dam Site

At the end of November, at Bull Shoals Dam Site Park, businesses and individuals can choose a spot to decorate for Christmas! “Lite Up the Nite at Dam Site”, sign up will start NOV 10th .

Dam Site Park will be open for drive thru tours Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings in December (not after Christmas) from 5:00 to 8:00pm.

There will be a judging of each site and one winner will be chosen. Blow-up decorations are allowed; however, they will not be in the judging (that's just too easy). First-come first-served spots.

Sign up below and we will notify you regarding specifics of times to decorate and guidelines.

I'd Like to Decorate a Spot!

We will be looking for volunteers to help man the park entrance booth the evenings (Dec. 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19 20). Please let us know if you are interested in volunteering! There will be two volunteers each evening to greet guests, hand out candy canes, and collect donations. Donations will help the city with electricity and will be awarded to a winner.
