Dickson Street, the heart of the entertainment district in downtown Fayetteville is the place to see, and be seen, in Northwest Arkansas.

A walk down Dickson Street reveals merchants catering to a variety of unique styles, personal tastes and urban sophistication. Shoppers are able to find one-of-a-kind gifts, clothing and home accessories.

The crown jewel of Dickson Street is the elegant Walton Arts Center, a truly unique facility that one would expect to find in a city many times larger than Fayetteville. The diversity of its programming, the scale of touring productions and the variety of arts opportunities are unparalleled anywhere in the state. Over 350 public events occur per year at Walton Arts Center, including touring Broadway performances, symphonies and renowned dance recitals.

And, should you get hungry after one of those Walton Arts Center performances, or simply from making the rounds at the many bars and lounges up-and-down Dickson Street, this is definitely the place to be. Chefs from around the world have chosen to open their restaurants in this quaint and booming area downtown.
