Spring hits Little Rock like a revelation. March through May brings dogwood blooms and perfect 70-degree days. Fall runs September through November with crisp mornings and warm afternoons — ideal for walking the River Trail. Summer gets hot and sticky, but that's when the city comes alive with outdoor concerts at Riverfront Park. Winter stays mild compared to northern cities, though ice storms can shut things down for days. Here's the insider tip: come during Riverfest in late May for live music, local food vendors, and the best people-watching of the year. Just book hotels early — this festival draws 350,000 people to a city of 200,000.
