Springtime always lifts our spirits, but it’s also the perfect time to explore what the local area and community in Jacksonville, AR have to offer. Here’s our list of the best spring activities to get you out in the fresh air.


1. Market Madness Block Party

Held at 9 Municipal Drive on May 6, the Market Madness Block Party will be celebrating the start of the market season in Jacksonville with a bang. Come along for live music, the chance to sample delicious food from numerous vendors, and a selection of arts and crafts stalls. It starts at 2pm, and you’ll be able to shop for your favorite locally-produced fruits, flowers, vegetables, and preserves as well. 

2. Jacksonville Arboretum and Botanical Gardens

Whatever you do this spring, you must make time to visit the Jacksonville Arboretum and Botanical Gardens to view nature at its very best. Open from 8am to 7pm every day, you can adventure down the nature trails, or just to sit and drink in the beautiful scenery. There are even classes and cyber stations to help you enjoy a spot of yoga in the open air, so come on down to enjoy all the possibilities.


3. Mount Holly Cemetery Picnic

Despite their spooky reputation, cemeteries are a wonderful place to spend a spring’s day. Peaceful, pretty, and packed with history, the Mount Holly Cemetery 1200 South Broadway in Little Rock will be hosting a fundraising Spring Picnic on April 30 at 5pm. With a box supper and appetizers, along with music from the Central High School jazz ensemble, you’ll be able to drink in the atmosphere and enjoy the family-friendly spirit.

It may arrive every year but each springtime is special, so be sure to make the most of the chance to celebrate family, friendship, and fun. And if you’re looking for the perfect car to take everyone and everything you need, visit us at Crain Ford Jacksonville to view our extensive variety of new and used vehicles.
