I am a nature lover and self-proclaimed foodie wrapped in one package. In my previous life, I was an Accountant, but numbers were boring and writing is the only thing that fuels my soul. So, I write because it's my freedom...it brings me joy. When I'm not writing dope articles for OnlyInYourState, I am writing and editing articles for my online blog on Medium.com. Or, when I get the chance, I am off on a trip with my family chasing waterfalls, or simply exploring the great outdoors. My mantra is to always find the best part of every day and bask in it.
Let’s face it, Arkansas is filled with tons of events unique to our state. And best of all, they attract thousands of spectators every year. Some of our award-winning festivals are nationally recognized, and they are filled with lots of quirky, family-friendly activities. One such festival that you’ll absolutely love is the one-of-a-kind Goat Festival held in Perryville. Mark your calendars folks, you’re about to have the most fun this coming fall.
On October 1, the Goat Festival will return to Perryville City Park.
The park is located at 801 Highway 10 (South Fourche Avenue) and the festival kicks off at 10 a.m.
This fun festival is for goat lovers of Arkansas who believe their goat is the G.O.A.T. So, get ready for this one-day event that celebrates everything about these adorable animals.
They include goat parades, goat costume contests, and a goat lingerie show, just to name a few. Be sure to come prepared because the competition will be fierce.

And if you have a goat who ain’t about that costume life, there will be a parade for them to strut their stuff as well.
In addition, there will be a rest area set up for the goats. So, even if you don’t own one of these lovable creatures, you can come and make new friends.
Additionally, the (human) kids will love the face painting and goat tattoos. Plus, there will be tons of vendors selling everything from goat jewelry to goat merch.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. You’ll enjoy live music from local bands playing goat-related jams.
So, bring the family, except the dog, and have a goat-astic time. It’s the one festival in Arkansas that you’ll absolutely love.
