Your New Monthly Sunday Wind-Down
Sunset Sundays is a new monthly outdoor jazz series from Downtown Bentonville Inc., built around one simple idea: give the community a place to slow down, gather on the Square, and actually enjoy a Sunday evening. The April 12 kickoff features Arkansas native Grady Nichols on live jazz, with future editions curated by the Northwest Arkansas Jazz Society.
Art Worth Stopping For
Alongside the music, the April kickoff hosts a curated Art Market featuring local artists, makers, and creative vendors. There’s no vendor fee to participate, so if you’ve been looking for a spot to show your work to the community, this is a low-barrier way in. The artist application deadline is April 1, so sign up now to get a chance to showcase your artwork.
For attendees, you’ll have two hours to browse original work, catch live music, and hang out on one of the most walkable squares in NWA.
Put It on Repeat
Sunset Sundays is designed to show up on your calendar every month. The April edition sets the tone with music, art, and a downtown setting that makes a Sunday evening feel worth getting out for. Mark it down and show up.
