This free, high-quality cultural event features performances by nationally and regionally recognized artists, educational presentations, and community-based programming—including Las Balladas, which bridges Hispanic ballad traditions with Ozark heritage. We kick-off the festival at Luther George Park on Friday, November 14th with GRAMMY Award winner, Dom Flemons and The Traveling Wildfires. The Jones Center will host our Saturday and Sunday events. Evening square dances will be held at the Springdale American Legion Hall. The festival also includes the Ballad-Off at Turnbow Park and the Ozarks Stringband Championships, along with ticketed workshops and our fabulous Not Your Mama’s Gospel Brunch, presented by Pink House Alchemy.
