Pickin on the Square brings together local musicians and anyone with an acoustic instrument at Bentonville Square for an informal community jam. This longtime tradition creates a relaxed space to make music, listen, and connect with one another. There is no admission fee, and people of all ages and experience levels are welcome. Attendees may bring an acoustic instrument to participate, or bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit back and enjoy the music. This community-led gathering is supported by Downtown Bentonville Incorporated.

A restorative sound bath centered on transition, integration, and gentle realignment. As the season shifts from summer’s fullness to autumn’s quieter rhythm, The Golden Threshold offers a calm setting at Crystal Bridges to pause, reflect, and recalibrate.

Tickets are $20, with a $16 rate for members. Reservations can be made online or by contacting Guest Experience at (479) 657-2335.
