Fun Ways to Celebrate Father’s Day In Little Rock
Father’s Day is right around the corner, and we can’t think of a better place to honor dad than in Little Rock. A long weekend here is the perfect way to treat dad to adventure, culture, and local flavor—all wrapped up in the capital city’s warm Southern charm.
LIVE ENTERTAINMENT
Check out the sounds of Little Rock’s vibrant music and performing arts scene. Head to the River Market District for concerts at restaurants and clubs all along President Clinton Avenue and the surrounding area. Prefer the theater? Robinson Center and the Arkansas Repertory Theatre serve up great shows with fantastic flair.
OUTDOOR ADVENTURES
Jumpstart the weekend with a ride along the Arkansas River Trail—pedal across the Big Dam Bridge, North America's longest cycling- and pedestrian-intended bridge. Grab a kayak or take a guided floating tour of the Arkansas River for an urban outdoor experience. If hiking is more dad's speed, venture out to Pinnacle Mountain State Park and work your way to the top for breathtaking views of central Arkansas.
CULINARY DELIGHTS
Fuel up, Little Rock style. Savor European-inspired comfort food, bite into a perfectly grilled steak, scoop up some cheese dip (invented in 1935 right here in the area), or dive into a plate of smoky barbecue. From cozy bistros to long-time family-run joints, the city has something delicious for every kind of dad. Eat like a local and make lasting memories with him while you do.
SPIRITS & BREWS
Raise a glass to dad with a tour and tasting at Rock Town Distillery—sip award-winning bourbons, vodkas, and gins crafted right in the heart of Little Rock. Swing by one of our breweries for a local pour and laid-back vibes, or explore nearby wineries for a toast with a view.
Little Rock delivers BIG ways to celebrate Father’s Day. This year, make it unforgettable for the dad in your life.
