LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The Razorbacks will be in Little Rock Saturday to play at War Memorial Stadium. Before the Sept. 2 game, there will be a “Paint the Town Red” pep rally and parade to kick off the fun Friday.

Diana Long joined KARK 4 Today from the Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau on what to expect during the Labor Day weekend.

The parade will begin at the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce, continue through the River Market District and end at the First Security Amphitheater.

Gates to the amphitheater will open at 6:30 a.m. The parade will begin at 7 p.m. followed by the pep rally at 7:30 p.m.

Due to expected high temperatures Saturday, the Razorback game will be moved up to noon War Memorial Stadium. Officials have not given an update on the fan fest at this time.
