Summer Starts Early at Lawrence Plaza with the Return of Kids Rave

Downtown Bentonville is turning into a dance floor this June, and the dress code is whatever your kid painted on their face. The plaza is the spot, the music is the plan, and sunscreen is probably a good idea.

THE DEETS

Drop the Beat

Kids Rave runs multiple events in 2026, and the summer edition brings a live DJ, face painting, and the splash pad to Downtown Bentonville.

Wet, Wild, and On the Dance Floor

The splash pad and the music run all evening, so there is plenty of time to do it all. Expect dancing, face painting, and the kind of fun that makes the drive home very quiet.

Keep the Summer Going

Kids Rave is one of several family events hosted by Downtown Bentonville throughout the year. Check the Downtown Bentonville events calendar to see what else is coming up.
