Springfest 2017

Springfest 2017

Swing into spring with a weekend stay in spectacular Heber Springs for the 30th annual Springfest on April 28 and 29. This freefestival is packed top to bottom with great family fun, starting at noon on Friday and continuing all day Saturday. Festival home base is Spring Park, with additional events throughout the city of Heber Springs.

In Spring Park, you’ll find an extensive arts and crafts show, featuring handmade items like jewelry, soap, leatherwork, furniture and toys. You’ll also enjoy classic festival-food favorites, from corndogs and onion blossoms to ice cream and kettle corn. Live music from local and regional names keeps things hopping at the Band Shell.

Tickets to the Pavilion are $3, which includes a butterfly net. Train rides and inflatables for all ages will also be available.

On Saturday, transportation buffs can spend the day admiring the exhibits at the Classic Car Show at the Heber Springs Municipal Airport from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. The Mountain Top Volkswagen Club will sponsor the 11th Annual Volkswagen Car Show in Spring Park, where Volkswagen enthusiasts can discover collectible cars from around the state, or display their own restorations.
