Discover Fort Smith, Arkansas!

Fort Smith is where the New South meets the Old West. It’s a place rich in history, where large groups will also discover a world-class urban contemporary art scene, a remarkably scenic landscape that is easy to explore, and innumerable family and budget-friendly attractions. Plus, the city offers exceptional variety in regards to shopping, dining, live entertainment and more. Even better, traveling to Fort Smith is a breeze! Fort Smith’s central U.S. geography is the reason it was first established as a strategic military fort in 1817. It’s also why, decades later, the city can be reached by multiple major U.S. highway/interstate systems stretching from one coast to the next. This makes driving to Fort Smith from large metros like Dallas (4 hours), Tulsa (less than 2 hours) Memphis (4 hours), and St. Louis (6 hours) quick and simple. For those who prefer to travel by sky, the Fort Smith Regional Airport offers daily jet service from Dallas/Fort Worth and Atlanta. And when it comes to event space, we've got an array of indoor and outdoor venues to accommodate any type of event! The Fort Smith Convention Center is the city's premier meeting and event venue, offering 116,800 sq. ft. of usable and infinitely-customizable event space. Nearby, the 53,000 sq. ft. Temple Live—a historic Masonic Temple—boasts 3 large banquet halls, a beautiful performance theatre and several meeting rooms. Kay Rodgers Park is home to The Expo Center (24,000 sq. ft.), Harper Stadium (36,960 sq. ft.), and Hardin Arena (27,300 sq. ft.). And other sites like Riverfront Park, Fort Smith City Center and Ben Geren Park are popular venues for large festivals, sports tournaments, business meetings and other types of events.

Covert Cocktail Club
Covert Cocktail Club
Multi-city
Once upon a time in 2016, Matt Levy, founder of Covert Cocktail Club, hosted a secret speakeasy as an intimate place for strangers to gather in his home. The only way to find out about it was via word of mouth. No address was given, the only clue being a sign placed in the window, “Cocktails Here”. A lot of people thought it was pretty cool, even before The New York Times wrote about it. But that was all pre-pandemic, and this is a new era. Liberated from the confines of a single location, Covert Cocktail Club now brings the speakeasy right to your door—be it at your home, office, bar mitzvah, dinner party, bachelor/ette party or anywhere you choose!
