Nestled in the heart of the Ozarks, Bentonville is a destination like no other. Boasting over 80 miles of purpose-built, progressive soft-surface cycling trails, it has earned its title as the Mountain Bike Capital of the World. But Bentonville’s appeal stretches far beyond its trails. This city is alive with creativity, where public art adorns every corner, world-class museums like Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art—designed by the legendary Moshe Safdie—showcase iconic American works, and award-winning chefs transform the culinary scene into an unforgettable adventure. What was once known as Walmart’s corporate hub has undergone a cultural renaissance in the past decade, evolving into a community bursting with energy. Live music fills the air, family-focused venues like the Scott Family Amazeum ignite imaginations, and every experience invites visitors to discover something extraordinary. Bentonville isn’t just a destination—it’s where innovation and inspiration converge, offering something for everyone to love.
The Benton County Fair has provided family fun and education about agriculture, industry, history, and culture since 1904. Today, Benton County remains one of the top agricultural producers in the state of Arkansas, in addition to experiencing rapid increases in population.
According to the Rogers Historical Museum, the Benton County Fair began as an exhibition of the fruit in our area. By 1923, it included community exhibits of agricultural items and home economic items as well as poultry. Entertainment included horse and bicycle races, which remain popular in some form today.
The Benton County Fairgrounds was originally in Rogers, then moved to the “old fairgrounds” in Bentonville where Thaden School is now located, and was moved to its current location near the Northwest Arkansas National Airport in 2007.
