Fun Low-cost & Free Family Events in Northwest Arkansas This Week

By by Kara Ault, Macaroni Kid- Fayetteville Publisher April 23, 2015
Macaroni Kid is a FREE family resource for kid-friendly & teen events in & around Northwest Arkansas. Macaroni Kid is, in a nutshell, the answer to "Mom, what are we going to do today?" No need to search the internet to find out what's going on. I've done the work for you and put it all in the weekly newsletter & calendar. Be sure to tell your friends about this free resource for families.

My kids and I had a great time at Farm Friends today. It was also a big day for us because I registered my youngest for kindergarten. I can't believe my baby is old enough to go to school next year. This mama will be shedding some tears the first day of school in August!

Planning your child's party? Check out our second annual Macaroni Kid Birthday Party Guide, which you can find on this page. I have worked hard on gathering information on some of the best businesses in Northwest Arkansas that provide services, delicious treats & venues for birthday parties, and put all of the info that you need in one place. This Guide will remain on the site all year so you can reference it in planning your child's party.

I also now also publish Macaroni Kid Rogers-Bentonville. You can still expect to find the same great info here about events all over NW Arkansas, but the Rogers-Bentonville edition will focus more on events in those two cities & the immediate surrounding towns. I encourage readers who live in Rogers or Bentonville to subscribe to that one as well. You can find it here: Macaroni Kid Rogers-Bentonville.

Check out this week's calendar HERE, with fun events you and your family can enjoy.  Explore our Business Directory HERE to find local businesses you can trust.
