A Season of Festivities
The celebrations kick off with King’s Day in January, marking the start of a whirlwind season. This initial gathering sets the tone with music, dancing, and, of course, the classic King Cake. From there, the festivities build, offering a range of events for all ages and interests.
One highlight is the Coronation Ball, an elegant affair where Mardi Gras royalty is crowned. Guests don their finest attire and masks, dancing the night away to live music in a beautifully decorated venue. It’s an experience that combines tradition with Eureka Springs’ signature style.
For food enthusiasts, the Taste of Mardi Gras event is a must. Here, you’ll indulge in delectable dishes inspired by classic Louisiana flavors, paired with local twists that showcase the region’s culinary creativity.
