One of the loveliest aspects of the May Festival of the Arts is the Grand Illumination.  Each night, the whole town glows from the light of thousands of Japanese and Chinese paper lanterns. The historic buildings of downtown Eureka Springs never look quite so good as they do on a spring evening in May.

Come see for yourself. Visit our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast during the May Arts Festival and the Grand Illumination. Reservations made at least 45 days in advance receive a 5% discount. That means there is still time to reserve a room for at our Bed and Breakfast Eureka Springs during the month of May and save.
