Bentonville has transformed from a quiet Ozark county seat into one of the most surprising arts destinations in the country. The Momentary, a contemporary art space carved out of a former cheese factory, hosts touring concerts and festivals alongside its exhibitions, while Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art adds outdoor concerts and cultural programming on its forested campus. The Walmart AMP in neighboring Rogers brings arena-level touring acts to the region all summer. Add a world-class mountain biking scene that fills the calendar with races and festivals, and Bentonville's events lineup now reads like a city five times its size.
