This event is rooted in a simple idea: clubs are social infrastructure. Book clubs, hobby groups, volunteer teams, recreational clubs and other groups built around shared interests help create trust, connection and belonging. We can all join something.

Regular time spent with people around a shared interest is one of the best ways to build real relationships—and strong social ties support our mental, emotional and physical well-being. Community isn’t just nice to have. It’s essential, and it’s contagious.

And keep exploring after Club Crawl: nearly 30 clubs and groups—including many featured at the event—will soon be listed on the EngageNWA Directory, making it easier to find ways to connect across Northwest Arkansas.

Join a Club Crawl is a featured event of Welcoming Week NWA 2026: The Places We Share.

Light refreshments will be provided.
