The Arkansas Pottery Festival returns for a fourth year to the Community Creative Center in downtown Fayetteville, the first weekend of May.

This annual event packs all things pottery into a 3-day weekend full of demonstrations, presentations, showcases, and sales – all of which is free and open to the public.
