Things to Do in Paragould, AR (November 2026)
Paragould is the county seat of Greene County, with about 29,500 residents at the 2020 census, and part of the Jonesboro-Paragould metro area. The town sits on the eastern edge of Crowley's Ridge, so wooded state parks are a short drive away, while its downtown historic district keeps a restored 1925 theatre, a Statue of Liberty war memorial and a busy Main Street program of festivals and markets.
