EVENT INFO

Camping is included in your festival ticket, so you can fully immerse yourself in the Grit Fest experience at Centennial Park! We take over the park for the weekend, and most attendees choose to camp onsite. The camping is dispersed, with a designated parking lot a short walk from the campsite.

Event setup will take place from 10 AM to 3 PM on Thursday, with camping opening at 4 PM. Please note that there will be no security on-site Thursday evening.

Tent Camping: For those bringing tents, our volunteers will be on hand to help you find a spot on a first-come, first-serve basis. Don’t worry—there’s plenty of space for everyone! The campsite is conveniently located within short walking or riding distance to the festival’s home base, so you can easily stroll or bike to breakfast each morning. Plus, with the Razorback Greenway nearby, exploring Fayetteville’s local scene is just a bike ride away.

Vans, RVs, and Trailers: If you’re coming in a conversion van, camper van, RV, or trailer, we’ve got you covered! There are designated spots away from the tent camping area where you can set up. Just make sure to park in a designated area within the park grounds.

Please note, while Centennial Park has good cell phone service (perfect for checking in on kids, pets, etc.), there won’t be official security at the campsite, so you'll be responsible for your belongings.

Hotels: If camping isn’t your thing, there are several hotels conveniently located at the base of Centennial Park, including Days Inn by Wyndham, Baymont by Wyndham, and Extended Stay America Select Suites. These are the closest options, and they’re less than a mile from the festival site—an easy bike or walk away.

Travel: For those flying in, Northwest Arkansas National Airport (XNA) is the closest and most convenient option, though flights can be pricier. Tulsa International Airport is another option, located about two hours from Northwest Arkansas. If you need a ride from the airport, our Facebook group is a great resource for coordinating with other festival-goers. A rental car isn’t necessary since you can easily walk or bike to the festival from the nearby hotels.

If you need to go into town, ride shares are fairly easy to come by in Fayetteville.
