Events in Hot Springs, Arkansas

When the eagle returns to winter in the Ouachitas, the people rejoice.

Events and festivals held in Hot Springs celebrate the magic of nature, the diversity of Arkansas culture and the creativity and heritage of our people. Hot Springs hosts the nation's only annual Documentary Film Festival traditionally held every October, the World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade held every March 17th, The Stuart Pennington Running of the Tubs every May, as well as the thoroughbred horse Racing Festival of the South (a week with one stakes race everyday leading up to the Arkansas Derby). But we are also internationally known for fine arts (join us on the first Friday of the month for walking tours of our downtown art galleries), performing arts and music festivals; popular cultural celebrations, and for our majestic avian guest, the American eagle, which makes his winter home in the beautiful Ouachita Mountains.
