With all the Easter egg hunts this weekend, we’ve got more than 5 recommendations for things to do this weekend in Northwest Arkansas, March 26-27:
Free “Art With An Altitude” Kite Festival at Turpentine Creek, Saturday.
Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge hosts it’s 26th annual Kite Festival celebration March 26, 2016. “Art With an Altitude,” sponsored by KaleidoKites of Eureka Springs, is a free family event inviting attendees to bring their own kites or buy one at the refuge. The celebration includes vendors, contests and fun activities for parents and children.
KaleidoKites’ experts will be available to assist children in kite making and flying techniques. Donations to the refuge requested for kite making assistance.
The event is one of the refuge’s most popular events each year. Admission is free for kite flying; regular admission prices apply to tour refuge wildlife on display. Proceeds finance rescue and ongoing care for over 135 tigers, lions, cougars and other wildlife that make the sanctuary a life-long home.
