The Bakery District, located on the West End of beautiful Fort Smith, provides a unique experience as a top social destination. The former baking facility has retained its history and charm but has undergone a facelift and is now home to the University of Arkansas Fort Smith classrooms and administrative offices, a coffee shop, a book store, a bar, a sprawling event center, co-working space and additional pop-up retail space all under one roof.

The Bakery District is a reflection of a time, place, and the people who built it. The Bakery’s stage and sound system can accommodate bands, lecturers, movie screenings, and many other entertainment events. Our courtyard can host a number of food trucks, bocce-ball tournaments, shuffleboard, ping pong, and countless other activities. The Bakery District is your community and event center.
