Fairgrounds Music Gets Strict Permit | Fayetteville Arkansas News

Washington County Fairgrounds just got the green light for live music — but with strict rules to keep noise complaints at bay. After a unanimous vote, they can host shows only ten times a year, ending by 10 p.m. and starting no earlier than 9 a.m. Two noise complaints could revoke the permit entirely, and it’ll be reviewed again in a year. Sound levels must stay under 75 decibels, speakers pointed toward the interstate with barriers, and attendance capped at 8,000. This marks a major shift from last year’s outright rejection, fueled by community concerns and new safeguards. The Fair Association says it’s about revenue and entertainment — while officials hope to strike a balance between profit and peace.
