Little Rock's Newest Festival - LITFest 2022
Little Rock's newest festival, LITFest, will take place October 7 – 9, 2022, in downtown Little Rock. The three-day event will highlight the City of Little Rock through live music, cultural programming and panelists on various topics from technology to economic growth.
“Not only will this be a time for Little Rock residents to gather, this is also a citywide homecoming,” Mayor Scott said. “Keeping with that theme, there will be a special emphasis on spotlighting current and former Little Rock residents who are recognized as leaders in their fields to participate as performers and panelists.”

From CALS:
The Central Arkansas Library System (CALS) presents the nineteenth annual Six Bridges Book Festival, October 20–30. Named for the six bridges that connect the downtowns in Little Rock and North Little Rock, the Festival bridges communities and brings people together. CALS actively solicits input from a variety of demographic groups with the goal of offering a diverse, inclusive, and widely appealing festival.
The 11-day event celebrates reading, literacy, stories, and wordsmithing. Scores of nationally known authors converge on the city to offer panels on a wide variety of topics, from cooking demonstrations to award-winning comedy. Authors also venture out into the community for efforts such as Writers in the Schools (WITS), bringing the joy of writing to hundreds of students in central Arkansas.
