We hope you will join us in Eureka Springs for the 65th Annual Original Ozark Folk Festival, taking place October 28 – November 3, 2012.
About the Ozark Folk Festival
The country’s longest continuously running folk festival returns with competitions, art shows and a ‘Barefoot Ball.’ And of course, lots of good folk music! Many of the events are free, including the music performances in Basin Spring Park Thursday through Sunday and the parade on Saturday. The headliner for the weekend, Ronnie Cox, will perform Saturday at the Eureka Springs city Auditorium.
