Get ready for the return of the Yadaloo Music & Arts Festival, presented by Willy D's Rock & Roll Piano Bar at The Pulaski County Fair presented by Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort! The 4th annual Yadaloo Music & Arts Festival is set to take place on Saturday, May 27, 2023, from 2:00 pm to 10:00 pm at the North Little Rock Riverfront Park on the banks of the Arkansas River in conjunction with the Pulaski County Fair. A ticket to Yadaloo gets you into the fair, as well!
The festival gates will open at 2:00 pm and the music will start at 2:30 pm, with a lineup of amazing Country & Americana music acts playing until 10:00 pm. The festival's lineup includes headliner and chart topping Texas Red Dirt artist, David Adam Brynes. Award-winning, Buddy Jewell, will be direct support to the headliner. Other Arkansas artists are TRIPPP, Huckleberry Jam, Eli Adams, and Cam Shelton. New this year is a voted opener slot, and will be announced once voting has completed. This is in an effort to allow a public opinion on local talent to influence the kick-off slot, and ties into our Yadaloo mission to provide a platform for rising Arkansas artists.
General Admission tickets are available for $20 early bird until April 27, $27.50 advance, and $35 day of the event. Children 12 and under are free, and VIP tickets are also available. All tickets include entrance into the Pulaski County Fair, which is held on the same day on the other half of the park.
The Yadaloo Music & Arts Festival was awarded Best New Festival of the Year by the Arkansas Festival & Events Association in its first year in 2019, and the 2nd annual Yadaloo Music and Arts Festival won the 2021 Best Virtual Event award. The festival's monthly songwriter showcase, Sounds of Unity, is now back live in-person at River Bottom Winery each month.
The festival's mission is to provide national, top-quality entertainment while boosting the local economy through a trendsetting experience that will build into state and national prominence. The Yadaloo Music & Arts Festival strives to create a new, one-of-a-kind experience that will capture the free spirit in us all while highlighting the rich history and arts of our community.
In addition to its carefully curated lineup of Country & Americana music entertainment, the festival will feature interactive art installations hosted by local art groups, multiple arts and crafts vendors, and an array of food vendors with diverse festival cuisine and adult beverages. A VIP tent is also available for purchase, with 4 complimentary drink tickets, food provided by Ol Bart Southern Eats, a festival swag bag, designated VIP toilets, and the chance to meet and greet with the artists.
The festival will be held at a gorgeous setting overlooking the Arkansas River and the Little Rock skyline, and will boost the local North Little Rock Argenta Arts District and Little Rock Rivermarket District, and our official 2023 nonprofit partner, NAMI Arkansas. NAMI Arkansas is a private, non-profit organization whose mission is to help people with mental illness, their families, and the community.
