Pet the Pup, Browse the Art, Love the Night
Dogs, music, art, and good people—Barks on the Bricks is everything you want in a laid-back night downtown. It’s part of the monthly Art on the Bricks Art Walk, but this one’s going to the dogs (in the best way possible). If you’ve got a pup and love local vibes, this is your sign to show up.
The Deets:
📍 Downtown Rogers (businesses + Turntable Plaza at Railyard Park)
📅 Thursday, May 8, 2025
⏰ 4:30 PM – 7:30 PM
🎟️ Free
What’s Happening:
Local artists will have work on display inside shops and pop-ups, including pet portraits and animal-themed pieces. You’ll see folks painting, snapping photos, and maybe even sketching your dog.
There’s a full evening of live entertainment too:
- 4:30 to 5:15: Free yoga with Joe from Yoga Story DTR
- 6:00 to 6:30: Ballet Westside performs at Turntable Plaza
Shops are staying open later with specials, and some spots are setting up pet-focused fun—think pup cups, a photo booth, and maybe a few treats you weren’t expecting. Some groups will also be there doing adoption events and sharing ways to support local animal causes.
Why You’ll Want to Go:
It’s a casual mix of community, creativity, and dogs doing dog things. You’ll run into friends, meet local artists, and get your steps in without even trying. Your pup gets to tag along, and if you’re not a dog person, it’s still a great night to check out art and support the people who make downtown fun.

Bring the Dog. Wear Comfy Shoes. Wander Around.
That’s the plan. It’s not a huge production, and that’s exactly why people love it. Just something good happening on a Thursday night in NWA. See you out there.
