Fairytales, Fables, and Folklore are the theme for Eureka Springs Mardi Gras 2020! Eureka Gras sees a cornucopia of events, including parades, parties, masked balls, and other events on now through the last week of February.
If you think New Orleans has the American lock on Mardi Gras, think again. While N’awlins and places like Mobile, AL get most of the press, Mardi Gras is celebrated all over the country, to some degree or another. Perhaps nowhere with as much joy and enthusiasm as right here in Eureka Springs, AR.
We take Mardi Gras seriously, here in Eureka Springs, with our own Royal Court, and Krewe of Krazo (Krazo is Ozark backwards). Eureka Gras includes more than a month of activities, including two parades, numerous parties and formal balls, and lots of 2nd line bands.

Believe it or not the holidays are almost upon us! Thanksgiving is already less than a month away with Eureka Springs Christmas Parade of Lights right behind. Read on to learn more about how we celebrate the holiday season in our little corner of the Ozarks!
The fun never stops in Eureka Springs, spring or fall, night or day. This is particularly true during the holiday season. Every week, from Thanksgiving to New Years Eve, features at least one – if not many – holiday dinner, tour, concert, or other event to attend. The whole town gets into the spirit with festive lights, creative decorations, and lots of holiday sales.
This town loves parades and one the biggest of the year is the annual Eureka Springs Christmas Parade of Lights. A big reason for this particular parade’s popularity resides in the fact that it is held at night.
Why a night parade?
Why, the better to see the thousands of lights that make up the floats, bespeckle the walkers, and suffuse the bands in their warming glow. This annual parade truly is a unique and magical spectacle that must be seen to be believed. It’s not all our Eureka Springs holiday has in store for you, though!
