Life in Central Arkansas

Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts

We also have fascinating historical sites and spectacular golf courses. And did we mention that we have a wine country, the only public diamond mine in the world, thoroughbred horse racing, and one of the longest pedestrian and cyclist bridges in the world? And that’s just the beginning.

There’s a lot to see, do, explore and experience in the heart of Arkansas. Whether you like beautiful scenery, museums and cultural events, parks, gourmet dining or the night life, Little Rock has it all. And you can forget about the traffic and long commutes to work that interfere with your wellbeing in many cities. Also, Little Rock offers affordable housing in lovely neighborhoods and low cost of living.

Little Rock and central Arkansas are the main hub of entertainment, arts, culture, and event offerings in the state. With the beautiful Arkansas climate and our signature Southern hospitality, there’s fun to be had year-round. From winter festivals celebrating cultures and cuisines from around the world to summer outdoor music festivals, springtime parades of pooches and party-goers (including our own spin on Mardi Gras) to the fall state fair and a food championship you didn’t know you needed in your life until now, you’ll find four seasons of fun right here.

It’s not all outdoor events though, enjoy top Broadway shows like Hamilton, The Lion King, Wicked, as well as car shows, sporting events, a wonderfully diverse and eclectic concert scene, art exhibits – it’s all here to explore and enjoy with a charm and atmosphere that makes you a local in no time flat.
