EXPLORE DOWNTOWN ROGERS DOWNTOWN ROGERS
Downtown is home to brick-lined streets leading to a magical blend of sights, sounds, aromas, and tastes. It is a melting pot where business, dining, creativity, shopping, art, music, commerce, history, professional services, and more come together to form a vibrant community.
There’s plenty to explore throughout the year “on the bricks” including the Rogers Local Food Market (farmers market), beautiful parks, and a variety of fun monthly events for the whole family.

The Rogers Local Food Market attracts growers and makers from all over NWA to sell their goods. Within walking (or riding) distance from the market is the Railyard Bike Park, with experiences for all riding levels. Walking and riding trails lead down to Lake Atalanta, a local Rogers favorite spot, that includes a hard-surface trail around the lake, six fishing piers, a natural splash pad for kids, a treehouse, and 2,000-foot boardwalk. Back up the road is the Rogers skateboard and splash park, a great spot to visit in the heat of the summer to cool off.
The Rogers Christmas Parade sparkles through downtown each holiday season, traditionally on the first Friday in December. The 2022 parade was coordinated by the Rotary Club of Rogers.
Check www.rogersar.gov for the latest information and float applications for the 2023 parade as the holidays get closer.
The multi-use Railyard Park and Butterfield Stage in downtown Rogers includes a splash park, playground, and Railyard Live Series every Friday and Saturday from May to October. Coming soon will be the renovated Centennial Park and Centennial Pedestrian Plaza across the street from the Railyard Park. This park celebrates our country’s centennial with a beautiful flower garden with park benches, a paved stone walk, and picnic tables. For your quiet lunches, enjoy a sack lunch or purchase one at one of downtown Rogers' delicious restaurants.
