Northwest Arkansas Nightlife

Four cities make up what's commonly referred to as Northwest Arkansas, which is one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the United States -- much because Wal-Mart is headquartered in Bentonville. The other cities include Rogers, Springdale and Fayetteville, which is home to the University of Arkansas. Like many college towns, Fayetteville is a leader in the cultural, arts and entertainment scene offering a wide array of places that feature live music, as well as a smorgasbord of restaurants, eclectic shops and opportunities for live theatrical performances and concerts at the Walton Arts Center. Fayetteville area events also include a symphony and several theater groups. The Fayetteville nightlife scene in Northwest Arkansas is anchored by the Dickson Street Entertainment District.
