Fall in Eureka Springs isn't just one weekend — it's months of fun!

The 79th Original Ozark Folk Festival kicks things off September 3rd–6th with headliners Steve Poltz, Rainbow Girls, Beat Root Revival, and James McMurtry and the Martial Law Review, plus the Old Time Community Dance, folk workshops, and the Folk Fair in Basin Park.

But that's just the start. From car and motorcycle rallies to the Hillberry Music Festival, lantern-lit cemetery tours, and the Zombie Crawl, we've mapped out everything happening in Eureka Springs all the way through November — plus where to stay, what else to do, and how to get around without ever hunting for parking.

Just an hour or so from Bentonville, Fayetteville, and Branson (and a scenic 2-hour drive from Tulsa), fall in the Ozarks has never been easier to reach.

All Aboard: Sometimes the Simplest Things are the Best Things

There’s a reason locals will tell you the trolley isn’t just transportation in Eureka Springs — it’s part of the experience. This is a town built into the side of the Ozark mountains, with narrow, winding streets that were laid out over a century ago for horses and foot traffic, not parking lots. Enter the Eureka Springs Trolley: part shuttle, part sightseeing tour, and one of the most charming ways to see the whole town without ever circling a block looking for a parking spot.

It’s Never Been Easier to Ride
Here’s the best news yet: you no longer have to guess when the next trolley is coming. You can now track the Eureka Springs Trolley in real time, right from your phone — no app download, no guesswork, no standing around wondering if you missed it.

Open Google Maps and search for your stop or route — live trolley locations now show up right alongside regular transit directions.

Or check live tracking directly on the trolley website at eurekatrolley.org/parking.htm.
