Arkansas Folk Festival

About

64th annual festival held each April in Mountain View celebrating Ozark folk music and cultural heritage. The festival draws musicians and visitors from across the country who gather around the courthouse square to play traditional ballads, fiddles, banjos, and dulcimers. Vendors set up in the Artisans Market on the Square alongside live performances. Music is woven into every corner of town—expect impromptu sets at Pickin' Park, local music shops, and Jimmy Driftwood's Barn.
