Ep. 5: Gearhead Growth, Holiday Magic & Jonesboro’s Biggest Community Events

In this episode of the JBR Download Podcast, we’re spotlighting three major forces shaping Jonesboro’s culture and community spirit. We kick things off with a deep dive into Gearhead Outfitters, the hometown outdoor retailer that grew from a single Jonesboro shop into a nationally recognized brand. We explore their story, their impact on local business, and what’s next for this Arkansas-born success. Then, we shift into holiday mode with a look at Christmas at the Park—one of Northeast Arkansas’s most beloved seasonal attractions. From the half-mile light experience to the Snowflake Forest and family activities, we break down what visitors can expect from this year’s event. Next, we head into downtown for Joyfest, Jonesboro’s newest winter celebration that brings live music, vendors, local artists, and festive fun right to the heart of the city. We talk about how Joyfest is helping energize the season and what it means for the growing downtown scene. Whether you’re a supporter of local business, a fan of holiday events, or just someone who loves seeing Jonesboro thrive, this episode is full of community pride, fun, and insight into what makes our city unique. 📸 Instagram: @tourjonesboro 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tourjonesboro [https://www.facebook.com/tourjonesboro] 🌐 Website: https://tourjonesboro.com/events/ [https://tourjonesboro.com/events/] 📸 Instagram: @gearheadoutfitters 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gearheadoutfitters/ [https://www.facebook.com/gearheadoutfitters/] 🌐 Website: https://gearheadoutfitters.com/ [https://gearheadoutfitters.com/] 📸 Instagram: @christmasattheparknea 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChristmasAtTheParkNEA 🌐 Website: https://www.christmasattheparknea.com/ [https://www.christmasattheparknea.com/] 📸 Instagram: @joyfestjonesboro 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/joyfestjonesboro 🌐 Website: https://www.joyfestjonesboro.com/ [https://www.joyfestjonesboro.com/] 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and anywhere you stream! #Jonesboro #JBRDownload #GearheadOutfitters #ChristmasAtThePark #Joyfest #NEAEvents #SupportLocal #ArkansasPodcast #TourJonesboro 👇 FOLLOW US & STAY CONNECTED:👇 FOLLOW Gearhead Outfitters:👇 FOLLOW Christmas at the Park:👇 FOLLOW Joyfest Jonesboro:
