Confirm festival details with Visit BentonvilleQuick Reasons Guests Consider This Stay
- Built around the confirmed August 14–15, 2026 SOAR NWA festival dates
- Live checks for the Friday and Saturday event nights before an opening is shown
- Two-night totals include the flat cleaning fee and no direct-booking service fee
- Three-bedroom whole-home options for groups of up to 6 guests
Plan the stay around the full festival weekend
SOAR NWA is not just a single balloon launch. Visit Bentonville describes a weekend with hot air balloons, live music, food, and activities for all ages, benefiting Open Avenues. A Friday check-in and Sunday check-out keeps both published event days inside one stay.
Festival programming can change with weather, especially balloon activities. Confirm the current schedule with Visit Bentonville before the trip, then use the live panel on this page to check the lodging nights separately.
Why Pea Ridge is the first home to compare
The Pea Ridge house is the GetAway NWA option positioned for Bentonville, Rogers, Walmart Home Office, and north-NWA plans. It gives a group a quieter three-bedroom home base with a kitchen, living room, driveway parking, and room to regroup between festival activities.
The Springdale home can also appear in the live panel when those same nights are open. That gives guests a second whole-home option instead of turning an event-date search into a generic list of properties with unknown inventory.
What the live total includes
The event panel adds the two live nightly rates and the one flat cleaning fee for the stay. GetAway NWA does not add a direct-booking service fee, so the displayed total is meant to answer the price question before a guest opens the booking dialog.
Availability is verified again during checkout. If an event-night opening changes, the panel stops presenting that home as available rather than leaving a stale vacancy claim on the page.
