Earlier this week, we posted some information about a few local fireworks displays taking place in and around Fayetteville over the upcoming holiday weekend.
Yesterday, the folks at the Fayetteville Visitors Bureau sent us a long list of Fourth of July festivities taking place all over Northwest Arkansas, including several more fireworks displays and other patriotic events.
We took that list and formatted it a little bit, and placed it at the bottom of this post for your convenience. Find yourself a Fourth of July party.
