SOAR NWA

The 7th Annual SOAR NWA, a hot air balloon festival, will fly into the Benton County Fairgrounds in Bentonville on Friday, Aug 14, and Sat, Aug 15, from 5p-10p.

Weather permitting, there will be hot air balloon and helicopter rides, plus live music, a kids zone, a car exhibit, wrestling on Saturday, a beer garden, and food trucks.

Proceeds will support Open Avenues, a local nonprofit that helps create employment opportunities for adults with disabilities across Northwest Arkansas.
