Fayetteville in April
Great time to visit
April is peak Fayetteville - perfect weather, blooming trees, and outdoor events galore. Expect crowds and higher prices, but it's worth every penny.
Weather
April delivers some of Fayetteville's most gorgeous weather with mild temperatures and manageable humidity. Spring rains continue with about 8 days of precipitation, but they're brief afternoon showers rather than all-day affairs. Dogwoods and redbuds explode into bloom.

All Months
April through June gives you perfect weather and blooming dogwoods throughout the Ozarks. September and October bring fall colors and football season—book hotels early because Razorback fans pack the town. Summer gets hot and humid, but that's when the Buffalo National River runs clearest for floating. Winter can be unpredictable. You might get 70-degree days perfect for hiking, or ice storms that shut everything down. Spring break in March brings crowds but also the best wildflower displays at nearby state parks.
