Hey, mamas! If you’re looking for a way to enjoy the fall colors and the cooler weather, we know just where you should go. Jump in the car with the 
family and head over to nearby Eureka Springs during the first few days of November. The 64th Original Ozark Folk Festival will be in high gear from Wednesday, November 2nd through Saturday, November 5th.
The festival features some of the best folk and bluegrass musicians and showcases dozens of bands all over the city. Bands lined up for this year’s festival include Still on the Hill, 3 Penny Acre and Split Lip Rayfield. The festival also includes a parade, a songwriters’ contest, and the big event — the Barefoot Ball at the Basin Park Hotel on Friday, November 4th. (Yep, you do need shoes to get into the ball. But you might have so much fun once you’re there that you end up kicking them off. 🙂 )
And be sure to check out the Queens’ Contest, which shows off the girls of Eureka Springs wearing beautiful Victorian gowns.
