The ASSDF has a yearly fall festival dance in a different Arkansas city each October. The Friday night dance features a National Caller for the Square Dancing...and Arkansas Cuers for the Round Dancing. Saturday activities feature workshops, a Fashion Show, the ASSDF Membership Meeting (where bid presentations for future dances are made, and other issues are covered), plus the evening dancing to Arkansas Callers and Cuers.

Proper Square Dance Attire is REQUIRED at the evening dances... although casual attire is OK for the Friday and Saturday daytime dances, and dance level workshops. Visitors may observe the events associated with the weekend at no charge.

2014 NSDC

The Arkansas Square Dance Convention, Incorporated (ASDCI), bid for, and RECEIVED the bid for Arkansas to host the 2014 National Square Dance Convention. Since Arkansas now does have the bid, we need all the workers we can get, as it will take a LARGE AMOUNT OF WORKERS to make the event a success. Please STRONGLY CONSIDER HELPING showcase Arkansas Square And Round Dancing, to not only dancers around the U.S., but those from outside the U.S., who will attend.

While the 2007 Single Square Dancers USA Labor Day Dance-A-Rama was held in North Little Rock...Arkansas itself has NEVER HOSTED a National Square Dance Convention; at least not until the 2014 National Square Dance Convention.
