👋 Hey Northwest Arkansas, Ozzy here from OZ Totes Rental!
Another weekend is here, and you know what that means… time to get out of the house and find something FUN to do around NWA!
Here are some of my fab favs happening Friday, September 11 through Sunday, September 13. From festivals and vintage finds to mountain bikes, live music, family fun and even a duck race, here are 10 worth checking out this weekend:
🎡 49th Annual Centerton Days
📍 Centerton City Park | Friday & Saturday
One of NWA’s longtime community traditions is back! Centerton Days returns for its 49th year with a pageant, rib competition and plenty of small-town festival fun. A great one to throw on the family weekend calendar.
🛍️ Bella Rustina Modern Vintage Market
📍 Rogers Convention Center | Friday & Saturday, 9 AM–5 PM
Calling all treasure hunters! Bella Rustina takes over Rogers with more than 250 booths filled with vintage finds, handmade goods, décor and plenty of things you probably didn’t know you needed until you saw them.
🏕️ Community Campout
📍 The Jones Center | Springdale | Friday 6 PM–Saturday 10 AM
How about sleeping under the stars without heading deep into the wilderness? The Jones Center’s 3rd Annual Community Campout includes campfire cooking, outdoor games, live music, survival skills, nature activities and more.
🚵 Noon2Moon Bike Weekend
📍 Coler Mountain Bike Preserve | Bentonville | Friday & Saturday
This is SO Bentonville. 😂 Friday kicks things off with kids’ activities and the Moon2Moon Hot Lap, followed Saturday by the big 3-hour and 6-hour Noon2Moon mountain bike races at Coler. Even if you’re not racing, it should be a fun weekend around the preserve.
🧵 48th Annual Ozark Quilt Fair
📍 Shiloh Museum of Ozark History | Springdale | Saturday, 10 AM–2 PM | FREE
Here’s a classic Ozarks event. The annual Quilt Fair features beautiful quilts on display, live music, a historian talk and quilt-themed art activities. And yep, admission is free!
🖼️ Grandma Moses: A Good Day’s Work Opening Celebration
📍 Crystal Bridges | Bentonville | Saturday, 11 AM–3 PM
A brand-new exhibition opens this weekend celebrating Grandma Moses, who famously began her professional art career later in life. The opening celebration includes artmaking, storytelling, live music and family programming throughout the museum. The exhibition features paintings, embroidery and photography exploring her remarkable life and work.
🦆 9th Annual Duck Race
📍 Turnbow Park | Springdale | Saturday, 10 AM
Yes. A DUCK RACE. 🦆😂 This annual Springdale event returns Saturday morning at Turnbow Park. It’s one of those wonderfully random community events that makes a pretty fun stop with the family. Registration is required to participate.
🎤 Tim McGraw + 49 Wi******er
📍 Walmart AMP | Rogers | Saturday, 7 PM
Country fans, here’s your BIG Saturday night. Tim McGraw brings the Pawn Shop Guitar Tour 2026 to the AMP, with 49 Wi******er joining him. This is easily one of the biggest concerts happening anywhere in NWA this weekend.
🎭 August Wilson’s Fences
📍 TheatreSquared | Fayetteville | Saturday & Sunday
Want something indoors? Catch August Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Fences at TheatreSquared, with performances Saturday afternoon and evening and again Sunday afternoon. A great date-night or Sunday afternoon option.
🔭 Astronomy Night
📍 Hobbs State Park-Conservation Area | Rogers | Saturday, 6:30 PM | FREE
Finish Saturday with something completely different. Hobbs State Park is teaming up with the Sugar Creek Astronomical Society for an evening of astronomy under the Ozark sky. Even better, this one’s FREE. 🌙✨
Whatever you get into this weekend, have fun, explore local and enjoy Northwest Arkansas! 🐾
And if your weekend plans happen to include moving, organizing, remodeling or finally tackling that garage… Ozzy knows a good company for that! 😉
