The Good Life Experience | September 14-15, 2018
Enjoy The Good Life Experience presented by Northwest Health in September at this inaugural event in Downtown Rogers celebrating Northwest Arkansas’ quality of life and culture of food, arts, and outdoors.
The weekend kicks-off on Friday evening with a farm-to-table dinner. On Saturday, low-cost workshops and classes on food, arts, and outdoors “pop-up” while a simultaneous marketplace featuring local businesses opens to the community.

Families, young professionals, outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers and explorers will find this event a fun and festive way to experience The Good Life.

Kick-off Dinner on September 14

Downtown Rogers parking lot between 108 N. 1st. St. and 122 N. 1st St.???????

Imagine a sunset dinner where you enjoy fresh, farm-to-table ingredients under beautiful lights. You’re seated at a long table with friends and family, lit with glowing candles and lights strung overhead while a band plays festive live music. It’s a perfect kick-off to a weekend full of celebrating The Good Life enjoyed locally through delicious cuisine, and the wonderful outdoors. Eric P. Miller will provide entertainment for the dinner. Eric is a musician that loves playing old classics like James Taylor & Jim Croce, but also loves delving in to new classics, all with an acoustic twist.
