Pumpkin Patches | Spooky Scenes | Adult Halloween | Family Friendly | Crafts & Activities | Film Screenings | Live Music

Pumpkin Patches

Rivercrest Orchard

If you’re hunting for pumpkins in a range of colors, shapes and sizes to round out your holiday decor, we insist on a stop at this small family-owned farm! Beyond the pumpkin patch, you’ll find a sunflower patch and you can even purchase some fresh local apples to take home with you!

SUMC Youth Pumpkin Patch

Thousands of pumpkins are unloaded each fall for this annual event where a large group of youth create and organize an enormous pumpkin patch for the public! Pumpkins and gourds from itty bitty to huge are available for the picking, with all proceeds from the patch benefitting the Navajo Indian Reservation in northwest New Mexico.

Spooky Scenes

Nightmare on Block Street

“Nightmare on Block Street” is both a month-long series of Halloween experiences and the name for the creepified pop-up version of Pinpoint that exists each October! The bar is covered in Halloween paraphernalia, featuring themed areas, immersive seating experiences, a temporary lineup of seasonal pinball machines, and a themed cocktail menu, including the reservation-only Boo-tiki menu exclusively served on Monday nights (but regular hours on Halloween Night!). Come dressed in costume for drink specials!

Adult Halloween

Haunt The Hanger

A ghost hunt like no other. Leave the kiddos at home for this one. Arkansas Air & Military Museum will be providing a scary good time.

Halloween Pub Crawl

Head to Dickson Street for a haunted adventure! Make your way to seven stops and experience limited-time menus of themed craft cocktails to get you in the mood for scary season. There will be games and contests along the way, so break out your costumes and enjoy your boos and besties for a fun, social night out!

Big Gay Halloween

Here's your warning to make sure your costume has some party shoes! Prepare for a mix of live performances, dance parties, and drag shows as Ozark Music Hall creates an electrifying atmosphere and a sense of belonging and acceptance.

Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors

A special Halloween performance from Theatre Collective of NWA! Ever wondered what would happen if you took Bram Stoker’s legendary vampire tale and put it into a blender with Mel Brooks and Monty Python? Head over to TheatreSquared and find out!

Pack up your ghosts and goblins and head to the Arkansas Air & Military Museum for a night of children's indoor trunk or treating.
