Where Fayetteville has fun

Walkable Fast-Growing University Razorbacks Family-Friendly

Extending from West Maple Street south to MLK Jr. Boulevard with the University of Arkansas stretched along its west side, Downtown Fayetteville is where the action is -- sports, theaters, and pedestrian-friendly sidewalks along trendy shops and restaurants. With its fantastic location in the Ozark Mountains, it's no wonder that Fayetteville is one of the country's fastest-growing cities. Here, you'll find brick-paved walkways and bike racks, terrific historic buildings and sleek, modern high-rises.

The heart of Downtown Fayetteville is Dickson Street. Here you'll find everything from the Campus Bookstore to George's Majestic Lounge, and from Brewski's Draft Emporium to Puritan Coffee & Beer. The Walton Arts Center is also located here -- a terrific destination for everything from Broadway performances to jazz bands. Of course, as home to the University of Arkansas, living downtown is all about the Razorbacks -- cheer them on at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium, located at the corner of Maple Street and North Razorback Road.
