Weekend Planning
Some weekends have festivals, live music, markets, and local events. Other weekends are better for food, Bathhouse Row, lake time, shopping, family stops, or a slower day exploring Hot Springs.
These are approved events currently listed for the upcoming weekend. More can be added as local businesses, venues, churches, groups, and organizers submit details.
Catch professional arena football games featuring the Arkansas Diamonds in Hot Springs. Games are scheduled for May 29, June 20 & 27, and July 25 at the Arkansas Diamonds Arena. Join local fans for some fast-paced football action.
