Hot Springs Arkansas Events
When the eagle returns to winter in the Ouachitas, the people rejoice. Note: all of the links below go off site to further information
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, as well as the thoroughbred horse Racing Festival of the South (at Oaklawn Jockey Club from February through mid-April). 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 magestic avian guest, the American eagle, which makes his winter home in the beautiful Ouachita Mountains.
