Along with your weather forecast, Arkansas PBS has some hot days ahead with new content, and we want to keep you informed.
“Celebrating Arkansas: Holiday Traditions”
Join professional DJ and “Celebrating Arkansas: Holiday Traditions” host Mario Luna, as he scours the state for the most interesting, time-tested Arkansas celebrations. In the Fall episode of this new series, Luna will get the inside information on the Hindu festival of Diwali, as well as the spooky details on Halloween and Día de Los Muertos in different communities across the state. Finally, Luna will complete a Turkey Crawl as he celebrates Thanksgiving a handful of different ways, while learning the lesson - no matter the celebration, it’s better together.
“Celebrating Arkansas: Holiday Traditions” will take audiences on a journey across the seasons and across state as Arkansans share the recipes, memories, family rituals and time-honored traditions that bring their loved ones together. Tune in Monday, Aug. 14, at 7 p.m., or Thursday, Aug. 17, at 7 p.m.
