Jonesboro, Louisiana
Jonesboro, nestled in the heart of North Louisiana’s Jackson Parish, charms with its scenic piney hills and the serene Caney Creek Lake. This welcoming town of 4,704 residents embodies community spirit—most notably during the holiday season, when downtown transforms into the beloved “Christmas Wonderland in the Pines.” From the Thanksgiving parade to nightly carriage rides, Jonesboro’s festive glow draws residents and visitors alike for cherished holiday experiences.
