Big Gay Halloween is a queer, campy, spooky-season dance party extravaganza– brought to you by the ghouls behind Big Gay Market. On this hallowed night, our community will rise from the crypt to celebrate the other queer holiday by enjoying horrific drag performances, horror movie drag trivia, a costume contest, a “Baby’s First Time in Drag” contest, sick beatzz curated by your Big Gay Mummies, exclusive Big Gay Market merch for our Big Gay Fans, and treats from queer food & beverage vendors. Make sure to bring your trickz to the dance floor, witches.

*A portion of ticket sales will benefit critical aid to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, as well as support for our local Hispanic community through Aire Arkansas.

Weavers, let’s meet for an evening of barn dance and socializing! We’ll make new friends, see old friends, and have fun with other Weavers. RSVP required. $10/adults, $5/students.

The Fayetteville Traditional Dance Society warmly welcomes us to join them at their monthly dance. Afterwards, NWA Weavers will meet at a restaurant (TBD) for a light meal and friendly conversation.

Every time it rains, litter that is left on the ground washes to creeks and streams. You can help. Pick Up Where You Play is a series of litter cleanups happening throughout Northwest Arkansas during the fall months. Last year over 500 volunteers removed trash from parks, trails, creeks, rivers, and lakes. Volunteers are entered to win adventures in the 3 major watersheds of NWA. For event days and locations go to www.knowtheflownwa.com!
