FORT SMITH, Ark. — Sept. 1, 2026 — Free live music returns to the Fort Smith riverfront this fall with the 2026 Levitt AMP Fort Smith Music Series, featuring seven concerts and a diverse lineup of local, regional and national artists beginning Friday, Sept. 11.

Presented by Main Street Fort Smith in partnership with The RiverBoy Foundation, the Levitt AMP Fort Smith Music Series will take place at 6 p.m. weekly from Sept. 11 through Oct. 22. Six concerts will be held at Harry E. Kelley River Park Amphitheater, with a special Oct. 1 pop-up concert at The Bakery District.

The season kicks off Sept. 11 with Fort Smith native Livesosa, marking his first hometown performance in nearly a decade. Now based in Los Angeles, Livesosa has built a career in music and entertainment while maintaining strong ties to his hometown. In 2025, he was presented with a key to the City of Fort Smith. Playboi Perky and beem! will open the evening.

“Levitt is about so much more than putting on a concert,” said Amanda Hager, executive director of Main Street Fort Smith. “It gives people a reason to come together and experience music they may not otherwise have the opportunity to hear, all in a space that is free and welcoming to everyone. You’ll see families with young children, teenagers, longtime music fans and people who simply decided to stop by and see what’s happening. That mix of people is what makes these nights so special.”
