Popular Bridge Street LIVE Series of Free Public Concerts In Hot Springs Expands to Include 5 Thursdays in October
DATE: SEPTEMBER 7, 2025
HOT SPRINGS NATIONAL PARK, Arkansas — The summertime series of Bridge Street LIVE free concerts in downtown Hot Springs has proved to be such a hit with the public that it is expanding into five Thursdays in October.
A varied menu of musical genres and fabulous contests will debut October 2 and continue each succeeding Thursday evening in the downtown Bridge Street Entertainment District.
“We are so pleased to bring an extra five nights of Bridge Street LIVE fun to Hot Springs this year,” said Visit Hot Springs Special Events Manager Alexis Hampo. “The turnout for the Bridge Street Halloween event has been so great in the past and the weather is always so nice in October that we decided to just double up on the fun this year. The fall weather will be perfect for dancing in the street.”
Hampo said she was certain fans would appreciate the fact that the lineup of bands for October covers such a variety of musical styles.
“I think we've done a really great job building the October lineup,” she said.
“We've got some new bands that haven't played Bridge Street mixed in with some returning bands that Hot Springs loves every time they play here.
“We’ve got pop, country, Zydeco and Ranchera. Every week is going to be such a fun time, you'll have to attend all five weeks.”
Hampo said the icing on the cake will be a special theme and contest for each of the concerts.
“These contests were a barrel of fun for some earlier concerts, so we decided to have one each of the five October evenings,” she said.
