Arkansas Rice and the Downtown Little Rock Partnership have partnered together to host a new event called Downtown on the Farm. The festival will highlight Arkansas agriculture in the heart of the capital city on Sunday, Oct. 27, from noon to 6 p.m.
This free event will feature live music from Adam Hambrick, Bonnie Montgomery, The Going Jessies and Rodney Block as well as food trucks, pumpkin painting, a petting zoo, beer garden, rice dig, tractor photo-ops and more.
“Although agriculture is the state’s largest industry, many Arkansans do not have the chance to experience life on a farm,” said Arkansas Rice Executive Director Lauren Waldrip Ward. “Consumers are increasingly interested in not only where their food comes from, but also how it’s produced and who grows it. Downtown on the Farm will provide a hands-on opportunity to celebrate our local neighbors who grow the food we eat at home and all around the world.”
