From rugged mountains and rolling rapids to historic small towns, caves and mines, Arkansas’ landscape is as varied as it is, well, musical. The Natural State is one of the birthplaces of blues, jazz and folk. Did you know that in 1985, Arkansas made the fiddle its official state instrument? Fine fiddling is featured at many of Arkansas’ 200 annual events including the three biggest: Arkansas State Fair, Bikes, Blues, and BBQ and The Steel Horse Rally. We’ve got the fine-tuned details for all of Arkansas’ Festivals, Art Shows, Music Festivals and Craft Shows!
