Yadaloo-ers will sadly have to wait a little longer for their fill of live country and Americana music.
Organizers announced this week the Yadaloo Music & Arts Festival scheduled for Saturday, September 18, 2021, has been cancelled due to rising COVID-19 cases, reluctant sponsors and artist availability. The release announced the next festival would occur May 21, 2022, in the same location at North Little Rock’s Riverfront Park. The 5K Veterans Memorial Ruck March in partnership with the nonprofit We Are the 22 will take place the morning of May 21.
In the meantime, we urge everyone to follow the guidelines and protocols put forth by public health officials so that we can all soon safely come together on the banks of the Arkansas River.

“With Yadaloo we strive to create a new, one-of-a-kind experience that will capture the free spirit in us all while highlighting the rich history of our community,” says festival co-owner and founder Susan Erwin Prowse.
