Fiddles and good old-fashioned clogging are in store for Little Rock in 2014 after the city was selected for the 63rd National Square Dance Convention.
The June 2014 event is expected to draw around 6,000 people from all across the globe. The estimated economic impact, based on revenue seen at previous host cities, is near $7.5 million.
“This selection is a tribute to the cooperative effort of city and state leaders working together to recruit and attract new groups to central Arkansas, and a prime example of how businesses directly benefit from those efforts,” said Dan O’Byrne, CEO of the Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The top attraction at the convention are the dancing competitions, but the event will also include a fashion show, parade of states and various educational panels and seminars.
The Peabody Hotel will serve as the host hotel for the convention, the Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau has already blocked out 6,000 total room nights for the event.
