Fairs & Rodeos

Feel your heart drop into your stomach as you watch a champion bull rider cling on for dear life or cheer on contestants as they race around barrels trying to beat their best time. Rodeos and fairs are Arkansas traditions guaranteed to excite everyone in the family. Make sure to get cotton candy or an imaginative fried concoction (it’s a fair, after all) before you ride the Ferris wheel. Some of the biggest and greatest events include Rodeo of the Ozarks, Arkansas State Fair and Old Fort Rodeo Days.
