The Festival Spirit

The Blues Party is more than a lineup of shows. Each year, music fills the town from historic stages to downtown streets, and BluesLand is the hub that ties it all together. Open throughout the weekend, it’s where people stop in to get information, see what’s happening next, and catch the energy between sets before heading out to the next venue.

The Best Weekend of the YeaR

Every year on the Thursday after Memorial Day, Eureka Springs comes alive with live music all over town, from venues to streets downtown. It’s the kind of weekend people plan their year around. Plan your trip.
