WINTER IS BETTER WITH A SOUTHERN ACCENT!
LITTLE ROCK, AR
Ranked among the Top Ten “Best Value
Destinations in the US” for the last three
years by Trivago.com, Little Rock contin-
ues to garner national and international
acclaim for its quality of life, tourism
amenities and ongoing revitalization. As
a southern city, Little Rock’s fall and winter
seasons are a wonderful time to explore
the city as performing art groups kick off
their new seasons, museums bring in
new exhibits, and the city hosts a number
of holiday events you won’t want to miss.
One of the city’s newest additions is the
beautifully redesigned, state-of-the-art,
Robinson Center, the official performance
home to the Arkansas Symphony Or-
chestra, Ballet Arkansas and Celebrity At-
tractions’ Broadway Theater Series. One

of a small group of National Register
structures to be LEED certified, it is a
great place to enjoy a show. This winter,
it will host everything from Alton Brown to
Les Miserables, and holiday favorites like
Mannheim Steamroller and The Nut-
cracker. Other guilty holiday pleasures
include Little Rock’s annual Big Jingle Ju-
bilee Holiday Parade and official lighting
of the State Capitol; Historic Arkansas
Museum’s annual “Nog-off” eggnog
competition; and, the Capital Hotel’s fab-
ulous Christmas Tree and holiday events.
Little Rock is also home to dozens of mu-
seums and cultural attractions, including
the William J. Clinton Presidential Cen-
ter and Park, Central High School Na-
tional Historic Site, the state’s only zoo,
and the Arkansas Arts Center. Its
downtown River Market entertainment
district is always a visitor favorite.
Winter is also a great time to enjoy the
city’s craft beverage scene and visit its
award-winning breweries, wineries and
distillery. Just named one of “15 South-
ern Cities All Food Lovers Should Visit
Now” by Food & Wine and Southern
Living, Little Rock has more than 600
restaurants and numerous artisanal
food purveyors, so visitors have plenty
of dining options and palate-pleasing
discoveries to make while they are
here.
