Searcy will be A ‘glow this Holiday Season. Take a carriage ride in the magical setting of dazzlingly adorned Berryhill Park, the largest of our four city parks. Each of our parks has been transformed into a delightful wonderland of twinkling lights. Stroll through the beautifully ornamented Main Street District, around the White County Court House. Our Christmas lights will burn brightly from November 28th through January 1st.
