The second season of the "Live at the Five & Dime" outdoor concert series begins on Wednesday, April 24. The series is free, and concerts are every Wednesday night from 6-8 p.m. outside the Walmart Museum on the Bentonville Square. This year's series will feature 25 concerts from April 24 to Oct. 9. "Live at the Five & Dime" is a collaboration between the University of Arkansas Department of Music, the Walmart Museum, and Downtown Bentonville Inc. The concerts will overlap partly with the Wednesday Farmer's Market on the Bentonville Square, which also begins on the April 24.

The performances feature faculty, students, and other artists connected to the Department of Music at the University of Arkansas. The first concert features the UA Graduate Saxophone Quartet.
