The second round of arts, music, food and fun kicked off at noon Saturday, Sept. 25, in downtown Arkadelphia.

Here’s a peek at Friday’s crowd:

There is plenty to see, do and hear at the Arkadelphia Festival of the Arts, with live music from regional groups and performances from local groups on one of two stages set up. Artists are selling their creations on Artist Row, and nearby a muralist is in the process of creating a mural opposite the one on the Honeycomb building.

Food trucks are also parked and ready to serve festival-goers, and downtown restaurants within easy walking distance are open for business.

Things are bound to get entertaining once performers from Arkansas Circus Acts immerse themselves in the crowd for the second half of Saturday’s lineup.

Parking and admission to the event is free.
