Are you ready for Memorial Day Weekend? Please take time to remember the ultimate sacrifice made by those who died in service to our country. There are a LOT of events going on — both in-person and virtually. Take a look and see what’s happening This Weekend in the Arkansas River Valley! Before, after, or in-between your family events and cookouts, there are plenty of other events you can enjoy with family and friends. Many churches are re-opening this weekend for in-person services. Please check with your place of worship and find out what precautions they are taking to maintain physical distancing.

NOTE: We do our best to bring you accurate information… however, some events may have been scheduled previously and not been updated since COVID-19 restrictions have been set in place. We encourage you to reach out to event venues to confirm before you head out to an advertised event. Everything is still subject to change.
