BluesLand
Blues Land in Basin Spring Park is the central hub of the Eureka Springs Blues Party. Open Thursday through Sunday, this space offers a mix of music, art, and community activities right in the middle of downtown.
Throughout the weekend, the park will feature live music, interactive art, vendors, and pop-up experiences. Artist Olivia Trimble of Sleet City Creative will debut a new “Welcome to Blues Party” mural, adding a fresh splash of color and a great photo spot for visitors.
Daytime programming includes yoga, chalk art, large-scale bubbles, and live painting. In the evenings, projection mapping lights up the Basin Park Hotel, and chalk-marked paths guide guests between venues for shows around town. Whether you’re stopping by for a few minutes or staying all day, Blues Land adds something extra to the festival experience.
