A new change to this event: the Greater Gravette Chamber of Commerce will hold it's Hometown Christmas with the Christmas parade this year! More details will be made available at a later date. ​

​

Prior to the Christmas parade, the Gravette Public Library will host an Open House beginning at 3:30 p.m. Hot cider, along with cookies will be served by the Friends of the Gravette Public Library.

 

Following the Christmas parade, the Gravette Historical Museum will host its annual holiday open house on the museum grounds. The historic Kindley home will be open for guests to tour and the museum will be serving hot chocolate and cookies. Listen to sounds of the season performed by the Gravette High School band & choir.

​

Santa and Mrs. Claus will be available for free pictures in the Gravette Community Building directly across from the museum. The fire department and police department will battle it out in the police versus fire chili cook-off held on the museum grounds.

​

Guests can vote for their favorite chili with a monetary donation. The department with the most money raised wins and all donations will be donated to the department's charity of choice.
