Winter festivals and parades are fun, but there’s another Christmas event that everyone needs to attend. Every year, Arkansas’ beloved Blanchard Springs hosts a one-of-a-kind holiday celebration. The upcoming Caroling in the Caverns will be a magical event that the whole family will adore.

Blanchard Springs Caverns is one attraction that should already be on everyone's Arkansas bucket list.

The three-level cave system is the state's second longest cave and the only tourist cave owned by the U.S. Forest Service. It's located north of Mountain View at 704 Blanchard Springs Rd., Fifty-Six, AR 72533.
There's no better time to visit the cave than around the holidays.

Most folks tend to schedule a visit during the summertime but that means they're missing the cave's signature event - Caroling in the Caverns. This year the caroling will take place on weekends beginning Friday, Nov. 23rd and run until Sunday, Dec. 16th. Tickets for this event are $25/person.

Groups of local Mountain View musicians will sing and play strings in the cave's Cathedral Room. The acoustics in the cave make the performances downright mesmerizing. Expect to hear plenty of traditional folk Christmas songs in addition to a rather silly Ozark version of the 12 Days of Christmas.
