Dickson Street & Walton Arts Center
Dickson Street
The entertainment main street of the college town. Bars, live music and restaurants link the university to the Walton Arts Center, and the street is the heart of Fayetteville's nightlife.
Dickson Street connects the University of Arkansas to the old town. Lining it are bars, live-music venues, craft-beer taprooms and restaurants housed in old red-brick buildings. George's, a music bar open since 1927, is one of the oldest live-music venues in town. The Walton Arts Center at the street's entrance stages Broadway tours, symphony concerts and dance performances, and the neighboring TheatreSquared is also well regarded. Every September the street hosts the large motorcycle rally 'Bikes, Blues & BBQ.' Weekend nights are the busiest, and the street is best enjoyed for a stroll after dinner.
