Since 2008, local churches, organizations and members of the arts community have come together to throw a free citywide Christmas party pulling out all the stops: live music performances and interactive arts, original work by local artists, make-your-own toy workshop, Santa Claus and the Three Wise Men, warm drinks and desserts, and lots of other interactive activities for all ages!

We invite you to join Love Out Loud & Christmas for the City as we celebrate together at the Benton Convention Center on Saturday, December 19, 2026, from 1-6pm.
