Eureka Springs has the highest ratio of artists to residents in the state. One out of every six people living in Eureka Springs is an artist! Naturally, this eclectic town celebrates the arts with a spectacular month-long festival. This coming month will be Eureka Springs’ May Festival of the Arts. Let’s see what all festivities are planned for this over-the-top celebration.
If you can only attend one day of Eureka Springs' festivities, we highly suggest attending the parade. The parade is May 4th, from 2 - 3 pm.
You don't have to be a seasoned juggler to enjoy all of the activities, you can even learn how to juggle for free! The festival includes intro workshops, performances, and camping at the Green Tree Lodge. This portion of events will be May 10th-12th. Some of the Juggling Festival’s events require tickets, they can be purchased right here.
