7 things to do in downtown Fayetteville

If you are looking for something to do this weekend in downtown Fayetteville, look no further.

Fayetteville’s downtown is small, but there are so many different activities you can do with friends and family – or on your own!

Downtown Fayetteville is now a social district, which means you can drink while you shop – the perfect pairing. Grab a cocktail at Sip Room or a beer from Gaston and take a stroll down Hay Street.
