Halloween trick or treaters

Halloween in Eureka Springs, AR is a big deal! Just at our Ozarks B&B alone we get about 400 children and parents stopping by for treats.

The 2012 fall equinox on September 22 is less than a week away. The autumn season is bringing beautiful color to Eureka Springs and our Ozarks B&B. Before you know it, Halloween will be upon us. The historic flavor of our inn and the architecture of Eureka Springs lends just the right air for a spooky holiday. It’s a big event around here! We usually get about 400 kids and their parents who stop by, trick-or-treating in wonderful, unique and very cute costumes. It’s always a pleasure to hand out goodies to a darling little lightning bug with a flickering tail or a four-foot tall Spiderman!

There are also numerous Halloween parties throughout Eureka Springs. Two of our favorite events are the annual Howl-O-Ween and the Mad Hatter Ball.
