The Second Annual Arkansas Music Week Is Almost Here — And We Can’t Wait to Share It with You
There’s something special about Arkansas music. It’s soulful, it’s scrappy, it’s rooted in history, and it’s always pushing forward. That’s why we’re so excited to bring back the second annual Arkansas Music Week, created by Arkansas Music Experience and presented in partnership with Experience Fayetteville. Last year's event showed us just how much this community loves to gather, listen, learn, and celebrate — and this year, we’re building on that energy in a big way.
A Week Full of Music, Creativity, and Community
This year’s Arkansas Music Week features more than 40 events, and honestly, that number barely captures the spirit of what’s happening. It’s a week of discovery, connection, and celebration. Across the week you'll find Live Music Showcases, Industry Events, Gallery Exhibits, and Special Programming.
It’s the kind of week where you show up for one event and end up staying for three more because the energy is just that good.
Why This Week Matters to Us
Arkansas has shaped American music in ways that deserve to be celebrated loudly and proudly. But Arkansas Music Week isn’t just about looking back — it’s about lifting up the artists who are shaping what comes next. This week exists to Support Local & Regional Talent, Connect Artists and industry professionals, honor Arkansas musical heritage, and most importantly, build community.
If you were here last year, you know how powerful it felt. If this is your first time, you’re in for something special.
Come Be Part of It
Whether you’re a musician, a fan, a family looking for something inspiring to do, or someone who just loves the feeling of being surrounded by creativity, Arkansas Music Week has a place for you. Fayetteville will be buzzing with music, art, and connection — and we’d love for you to be part of it.
The second annual Arkansas Music Week isn’t just happening again. It’s growing, evolving, and becoming a tradition we’re proud to share with the entire state.
