ONE OF THE MOST DYNAMIC REGIONS IN AMERICA

Northwest Arkansas’ historic downtowns and vibrant entertainment districts are recognized as top destinations for shopping, dining, and the arts. Outdoor amenities abound with multiple state parks, 487 miles of Beaver Lake shoreline, an impressive regional trails system, a botanical garden, and hiking, biking, and boating opportunities galore!

Each of the region’s cities offers something special and unique. Visit the charming village of Eureka Springs with its Victorian architecture, incredible living arts culture such as The Great Passion Play, and numerous shops and galleries. Attend a Broadway performance at Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville, and “Call the Hogs” at a University of Arkansas Razorbacks home game. Catch a concert at the Walmart AMP in Rogers, and a Northwest Arkansas Naturals baseball game in Springdale. Explore one of the region’s four state parks, including Withrow Springs in Huntsville. Hit the rapids year-round at the Siloam Springs Kayak Park, or tee-off at one of Bella Vista’s challenging golf courses. Don’t miss Bentonville’s awe-inspiring Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Enjoy all of the amenities and discover the diversity that makes Northwest Arkansas a welcoming and inclusive community to visit.
