Start on Broadway
The city’s event calendar and community spirit are on full display on and off Broadway. This is where locals and visitors come together for some of the area’s most popular happenings. The Broadway Food Truck park keeps the momentum going throughout the year with outdoor movies and live entertainment including the annual Broadway Food Truck Festival. Expect a lively mix of food vendors, music and a laid-back atmosphere that makes it easy to settle in and stay awhile.
Nearby, the Mayor Joyce Ferguson Civic Center plays host to special events. The Blues Off Broadway concert series is a highlight, bringing live performances to the stage while celebrating the sounds that define the Delta.
Head Out to the River
When you’re ready to explore, head toward the Mississippi River for a different pace. The Big River Trail offers miles of paved path with wide-open views, making it a favorite for biking and walking. The trail even crosses the state line, putting you in two states at once. Two on-demand bike rental stations from Explore Bike Share, one at the Big River Trailhead and one at Big River Crossing-West, make it easy to do it on two wheels.
Ducks Unlimited Park adds another layer to the outdoor experience, with scenic trails, wetlands and plenty of space to slow down and take it all in. You can even book a stay right on the river at Tom Sawyer’s RV Park. Outdoor options in West Memphis offer an easy way to balance the energy of the city with a quieter side of the region.
