Inside the Music: Make a Night of It
Dining, Drinks & Downtown Fayetteville; Your SoNA experience can begin long before the first note.
Make an evening of your visit to Walton Arts Center by exploring some of Fayetteville’s wonderful restaurants, cafés, cocktail bars, and gathering places. Whether you're planning a special date night, meeting friends for dinner, grabbing a quick bite before the concert, or looking for somewhere to continue the conversation afterward, downtown Fayetteville has something for you.
Many of these destinations are within an easy walk of Walton Arts Center, located at 495 W. Dickson Street. Make It a Complete Evening, we believe a great concert is more than two hours in a concert hall. It's an opportunity to slow down, gather with people you love, discover something new, and share an experience together. So, before you take your seat, explore downtown Fayetteville. Grab dinner. Meet a friend for a drink. Walk Dickson Street. Then join us at Walton Arts Center and let the music take you somewhere new.
Dinner. Drinks. Music. Conversation. That's the full Inside the Music experience.
