Where it all happens
NWA venues
The stages and spaces that fill the calendar. Every venue page carries its own upcoming schedule.
Bentonville
The Momentary
A former cheese plant turned contemporary art space — galleries, a festival lawn, studios for family workshops, and a tower bar with the best view in town.

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art
American art from the colonial era to now, free to enter, wrapped in trails through a wooded ravine. The temporary exhibitions are worth planning around.
1 upcoming →
Meteor Guitar Gallery
A listening room inside a working guitar gallery, just off the Bentonville square. Small, loud when it wants to be, and genuinely about the music.
1 upcoming →
Ozark Music Hall
A Bentonville music room (the former JJ's space) with a rotating local-and-regional schedule.

Fayetteville
George's Majestic Lounge
The oldest live-music room in Arkansas — booking bands on Dickson Street since 1927. Indoor stage, covered patio stage, and a crowd that shows up on a Tuesday.
2 upcoming →
Walton Arts Center
Touring Broadway, dance, comedy, and the region's most-programmed proscenium stage — a block off Dickson Street.
1 upcoming →
Six Twelve Coffeehouse & Bar
A neighborhood coffeehouse that books something almost every night of the week — the Thursday open mic is an institution.
1 upcoming →
Rogers
Walmart AMP
The corridor's big outdoor amphitheater, and the reason national tours route through Northwest Arkansas. Lawn seats are the best value; get there early for parking.
1 upcoming →
The Music Depot
A Rogers listening room and music school with a steady schedule of local and touring acts.
