Southern Arkansas University welcomes you to join in the holiday festivities as we illuminate the campus at the annual “Celebration of Lights” to be held this year on Monday, Dec. 4.
The Celebration of Lights will be held in conjunction with the Magnolia Christmas Parade which begins at 5 p.m. Caroling, led by the SAU choir, begins at 6 p.m. on the front steps of Overstreet Hall on the SAU campus. The carolers will be accompanied by the SAU and Magnolia High School bands.
Following the lighting of Overstreet Hall, sponsored by the Residence Hall Association, carolers will lead the way to the Reynolds Center Plaza where everyone can watch the lighting of the SAU Tower, which is decorated each year to look like a giant holiday candle. The candle is lit for the first time each year during the Celebration of Lights. Twelve strands of lights and more than 1,000 red and gold bulbs are used to decorate the 187-foot Bell Tower.
The annual Celebration of Lights dinner will be held in the Reynolds Center following the lighting of the SAU Bell Tower. The public is invited to join SAU students, faculty, and staff for this festive dinner. Tickets for the buffet dinner are $6.50 for adults and $3 for children.
