Weekend Starts is an art-infused series of Friday evening “compact creativity festivals” that will take place in the The Ramble. Kick off the weekend with a burst of creativity and fun! The WEST series is being held in conjunction with the University of Arkansas Department of Music, The Community Creative Center and Creative Spaces at Mount Sequoyah.

Weekend Starts take places on Friday evenings from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The series is free, open to the public and all ages are welcome.

Attendees can expect a lively atmosphere where they can unwind after a busy work week, enjoy strolling through the beautiful natural area and engage with their local arts community. Bring a picnic blanket or lawn chairs to enjoy the performances and stay awhile. Arriving via the Razorback Greenway is encouraged, but parking is available at the West Avenue parking lot, as well as on-street parking along West Ave.

Music performers will celebrate the musical diversity found at the university. Concerts will feature jazz trios, Brazilian and Afro-Cuban music, Ozark ballads, classical ensembles, rock songs, medieval music and more!
