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.
Visit the Arkansas Arts Center to see exhibits that showcase some extraordinary art pieces. Ongoing and traveling exhibitions feature works by renown artists like Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Edgar Degas, Auguste Rodin, Diego Rivera, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Paintings, sculpture, photography, and drawings are just a few of the art medias you'll see at the arts center.
