Weekend Starts Series

An art-infused series of Friday evening “compact creativity festivals” that will take place in the Ramble. Kick off the weekend with a burst of creativity and fun! The WEST series is being held in conjunction with the University of Arkansas Department of Music.

Music performers will celebrate the musical diversity found at the university. Concerts will feature jazz trios, Brazilian and Afro-Cuban music, Ozark ballads, classical ensembles, rock songs, medieval music and more!

Attendees can expect a lively atmosphere where they can unwind after a busy work week, enjoy strolling through the beautiful natural area and engage with their local arts community.

Weekend Starts is free and open to the public; all ages are welcome. Attendees are encouraged to bring picnic blankets or lawn chairs. Arriving via the Razorback Greenway is encouraged. Parking for Upper Ramble events is available at the West Avenue Parking Deck and on-street parking along Dickson Street; parking for Lower Ramble events is available in the Fayetteville Public Library’s south surface lot and on-street parking along S. West Avenue.

The Ramble is within Fayetteville’s Outdoor Refreshment Area (ORA), allowing attendees to enjoy beverages from participating establishments within the designated zone, provided ORA guidelines are followed.

In the event of inclement weather, updates regarding cancellations or rescheduling will be provided on the City’s website. Attendees are encouraged to check for updates before heading to the event.
