The Northern Lights Festival will be the first major event to be held in Argenta Plaza, a $5.36-million community space owned by the City of North Little Rock that will be managed by the North Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau. The plaza features a “front porch” area with modern swings; a stage with 40-foot video projection wall; a water wall; fountains and a “backyard” area with trees. Except for the backyard area, where the new First Orion headquarters is being completed, all will be open for the November 30 event.
