Take To The Trail

The crown jewel of Walton Arts Center’s Artosphere Festival returns June 14 as Trail Mix takes over downtown Fayetteville between the Community Creative Center and Wilson Park. From 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., bands will perform along the Razorback Greenway (with 15-minute breaks spread throughout the set). Plus, a model of the solar system will be laid out along the trail with learning and engagement opportunities at each planet to reflect the festival’s “Space” theme.
