Top 3 Things to Do in Northwest Arkansas This August
August is in full swing, and Northwest Arkansas (NWA) is packed with end-of-summer fun! Whether you're a long-time resident or considering moving to our vibrant region, NWA offers a unique mix of nature, arts, and entertainment.
Here are the top three things you should add to your August itinerary:
1. Stay Cool at Crystal Bridges & The Momentary
When the afternoon sun hits its peak, beat the heat inside the world-class, air-conditioned galleries at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art or The Momentary in Bentonville.
💡 Local Tip: Hit the shaded forest trails surrounding Crystal Bridges early in the morning for a refreshing walk before heading inside to explore the stunning indoor exhibitions.
2. Take to the Water at Beaver Lake
August is prime lake season in NWA! Gather your friends and family to:
Rent a pontoon for a full day of lounging and swimming.
Head to Prairie Creek with a paddleboard or kayak.
It's the ultimate way to soak up the sunshine while staying cool on the water.
3. Catch Live Shows & Carnival Fun
Summer nights in NWA are meant for outdoor entertainment:
🎵 Walmart AMP: Catch high-energy concerts and big-name headliners under the stars in Rogers.
🎡 Washington County Fair: Experience classic carnival rides, fair food, and family fun late in the month!
