In August, the Springdale area will get the opportunity to experience an inaugural SOAR NWA event. This event, hosted by Fayetteville and Open Avenues, will be a celebration of aeronautics and hot air balloons.
The day will begin at the Arkansas Air & Military Museum, 4290 S. School Avenue with a pancake breakfast.
If the weather permits, there will be rides in tethered hot air balloons, and views of them in flight. Balloon pilots will hold a meet-and-greet in their balloon baskets.
A professional skydiving show will take place and individuals wishing to skydive before or afterward will need to pre-register.
There will be helicopter rides, a car show and a Kid Zone.
A main stage will offer musical entertainment including the Island Pacific Dancers, Pilot Arts, Dandelion Heart and Take Cover. Headlining will be Randall Shreve & the Devilles. When the sun goes down there will be a nighttime balloon glow.
General admission will be $10 for adults and $5 for kids 10 and under. A $40 family pack will accommodate a family of two adults and up to four children.
Yellow and blue tank tops and white and gray T-Shirts all sporting the event graphic design are available on the Open Avenues SOAR NWA website.
This first SOAR NWA event is scheduled for Saturday, August 24th from 7:00 am until 11:00 pm at Drake Field, 4500 S. School Avenue Ste F. Fayetteville.
