🎉 Central Arkansas Weekend Roundup: May 2–4, 2025 🎉

Hey neighbors! If you’re looking to get out and enjoy this beautiful spring weekend, here’s your guide to what’s going on from Little Rock to Conway

🐸 Conway: Toads, Tunes & Tinkering

Toad Suck Daze
📍 Downtown Conway
📅 May 2–4
Yes, it’s really called that—and yes, it’s a blast. This beloved annual festival has a little something for everyone:

🎶 Live music (Travis Denning, Copper Flats & more)
🐸 Toad races (it’s exactly what it sounds like and 100% worth seeing)
🛠️ Acxiom Tinkerfest for curious kids and the young-at-heart
📸 PBS character meet & greets (because your toddler deserves a selfie with Curious George)
🎡 Rides, food trucks, crafts, and more sugar than is medically advisable

🎶 Little Rock: Festivals & Feel-Good Fun

501 Fest
📍 River Market District
📅 May 2–3, 11 AM–6 PM
Celebrate all things local at this street fest full of live music, vendors, food trucks, and proud 501 energy. Great for a casual stroll or full-on dance-in-the-street mode.

Shred Fest 2025
📍 1701 Centerview Dr
📅 May 3
Got old papers piling up? Bring them to be safely shredded while enjoying a mini eco-festival atmosphere. It’s oddly satisfying.

UA Little Rock Choir Finale Concert
📍 St. Edward Catholic Church
📅 May 2, 7:30 PM
Wrap up your Friday with a beautiful choral performance in a gorgeous setting. Affordable, relaxing, and musically impressive. What’s not to love?

🧹 Saline County: Clean-Ups & Capes

Great Saline County Clean-Up
📍 Various Locations
📅 May 3, 9 AM–12 PM
Lend a hand, pick up litter, and help keep our corner of Arkansas beautiful. Bonus: you’ll get that good “I did something helpful” glow all weekend long.

Saline County Comic Expo
📍 Benton Event Center
📅 May 3
Come dressed as your favorite superhero (or just come to admire everyone else’s costumes). There’ll be comics, collectibles, artists, and plenty of geeky fun.

⚾ North Little Rock: Baseball & Beats

Arkansas Travelers Game
📍 Dickey-Stephens Park
📅 May 3
Catch America’s pastime up close! The Travelers are at home this weekend, so grab some peanuts, a cold drink, and enjoy a night at the ballpark.

Coyote Claw @ Four Quarter Bar
📍 Four Quarter Bar
📅 May 3
A great local band, a cozy venue, and good company—what more do you need for a Saturday night out?

🎈Wrap-Up Time
There you go—plenty of options to keep you busy (or at least well-fed and mildly entertained) all weekend long. Whether you’re chasing toads, dancing downtown, or quietly shredding old tax documents (no judgment), we hope you make some fun memories.
