See a performance by the state's largest non-profit theater organization, the Arkansas Repertory Theatre. The Rep has staged productions of famous plays and stories like Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Hello Dolly!, Hairspray, The King & I, Steel Magnolias, Much Ado About Nothing, A Chorus Line, and My Fair Lady, among many others.
Head to a state-wide party and have some fun at the Arkansas State Fair. The festival has it all - food, drinks, music, carnival rides, a livestock show, professional bull riding, a beauty pageant, dozens of contests, shopping, shows and more. Plan to spend a couple of days visiting the fair, because you just can't experience it all in one day.
Take a look at the military past of the Natural State at the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History. The museum chronicles Arkansas military history from its function during the state's infancy, to its present day role. Artifacts, photographs, weapons, documents, and uniforms help to detail the state's interesting military experience.
Take a walk, run, or bike ride down the Arkansas River Trail - or at least part of it. The recreation trail stretches over eleven miles but isn't quite finished yet, when completed it will cover a total of 24 miles. If you decide to brave the whole trail, you'll be walking from downtown Little Rock, to Pinnacle Mountain State Park, from North Little Rock to Cook's Landing, and eventually across Murray Lock and Dam to the Presidential Library. That's a lot of ground to cover, be sure to wear some comfy shoes!
