About this event
The Arkansas State Fair fills the fairgrounds on Howard Street in Little Rock with rides, food, livestock and creative arts competitions, and pageants. Live music, dancing and special events take the Main Stage every night, and the Bud Light Pavilion offers live music and a place to catch the game. The Museum of Discovery is on site daily with Ballapalooza and Giant Lincoln Logs open play, and Arkansas Made vendors in the Arts & Crafts Building sell locally made products from Arkansas makers and businesses.
Our take: Build your day around the Hiland Dairy Fun Zone, where Sea Lion Splash, the Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show and Hoop You rotate from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.
Parking
Parking is $10.

Gates are open 11 a.m.–9 p.m. daily. After 6 p.m., everyone under 18 must be with an adult 21 or older, and bags larger than 12 x 12 x 6 inches are not allowed.
