St. Patrick’s Events, Home Show & Weekend Picks in NWA


Hey, it's Lynn –

Happy Friday!

Northwest Arkansas is in for a wild weather swing this weekend. Saturday is shaping up to be beautiful with sunshine and highs in the 70s — perfect timing to get out and enjoy what’s happening around the region. By late Sunday, temperatures are expected to drop into the 20s with strong winds and even a chance of snow flurries.

This weekend also brings a lot of St. Patrick’s Day celebrations across NWA, with races, pub crawls, parades, leprechaun races, and plenty of green beer happening in Bentonville, Rogers, Fayetteville, Springdale, and Eureka Springs.

There are also a couple of other big events worth checking out, including the NWA Home Show at the Rogers Convention Center and the Chocolate Lovers Market in Eureka Springs.
