Join the Hot Springs Village POA and Balboa Baptist Church at Grove Park this Friday, December 6th, for the Christmas tree lighting and a canned food drive for the community. This event will feature cocoa, coffee, and cookies starting at 5:30 p.m. and the tree lighting at 6 p.m.

The tree in Grove Park, located at 1105 DeSoto Blvd. here in Hot Springs Village, will be lit for all to enjoy. A canned food drive is an ongoing event that will take place at the Ponce de Leon Center through January 8th. To start this drive, everyone is encouraged to donate canned food to the tree-lighting event.

A special production of the Nutcracker, presented by the Hot Springs Children's Dance Theatre Company, will be held after the lighting of the tree at 7:30 p.m., so if interested, you can get tickets here. The tickets cost $25 for adults and $15 for students.

Come and enjoy this wonderful event for the community!
