The midway is returning to the metro this spring with endless treats, games, food and fun for the whole family.
Now in its sixth year, the Pulaski County Fair will take place over the course of nine days from May 15-24 on the picturesque banks of the Arkansas River.
North Little Rock’s Riverfront Park will be transformed into a display of dazzling lights, thrilling rides and colorful attractions all encompassed by the mouth-watering smell of funnel cakes, popcorn, corn dogs, fried Oreos, snow cones and much, much more.
You can also expect captivating games, a petting zoo, an array of novelty and arts vendors and live music. Plus, for those ages 21 and up, there will be a beer garden with a selection of adult beverages.
The 2026 fair is presented by Oaklawn Hot Springs and will feature an exciting lineup of live entertainment and music (to be announced soon). A portion of the fair’s proceeds will be donated to North Little Rock Parks & Recreation to support its ongoing mission to provide exceptional recreational opportunities and services for the community.
Admission to the fair is $5 for adults while children ages 10 and younger are free. Gates will open daily from 5-10 p.m. on weekdays and noon-11 p.m. on weekends. The fair will be closed on Memorial Day. All-day wristbands can also be purchased, which grant unlimited access to all of the rides at the park.
From April 6 to opening night, discounted all-day wristbands can be purchased at the North Little Rock Welcome Center, which is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.
