Make Plans for Ozark Mountain Music Festival 2026!

Ozark Mountain Music Festival 2026

Now is a great time to make plans for Ozark Mountain Music Festival 2026. This popular, four-day event is one of the area’s most cherished winter traditions. This year’s gathering promises 32 bands performing American roots, modern folk, and bluegrass, on multiple stages, in the heart of the Ozarks. January 15th through the 18th, 2026 in downtown Eureka Springs.

If you’ve never attended an Ozark Mountain Music Festival (aka “OzMoMu”), you’re in for a special treat! Unlike other sprawling outdoor festivals, this event is far more intimate. The festival headliner plays The Aud, with the other 33 performances taking place on 4 stages inside the historic Basin Park Hotel. Afterwards, head to Chelsea’s Corner Cafe & Bar, just a few steps away, for the late-night jam sessions. There’s always something magical happening around the clock at OzMoMu!

This year’s lineup is especially exciting, with The Brothers Comatose headlining the festival on January 17th. Other favorites include The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band, Front Porch, Sad Daddy, High Lonesome, and many, many others!

2026 is also sees the All-Access Pass include ALL shows, including headliners The Brothers Comatose at the Aud, and all the late night shows at Chelsea’s.

Better yet, Ozark Mountain Music Festival 2026 is less than half an hour’s drive from Sugar Ridge Resort! Enjoy hours of mountain music at the festival, then it’s a quick, scenic drive back to your Beaver Lake cabin or suite. Perfect!

Ozark Mountain Music Festival 2023

Ozark Mountain Music Festival 2023

2022 is nearly a memory and that means it’s almost Ozark Mountain Music Festival time! OzMoMuFest 2023 is scheduled for January 19-22. Four days and more than 20 bands serving up heaping helpings of live music. Bluegrass, folk, urban American roots, and more. Don’t miss it!

Heat up the New Year with the premier winter music event of the Ozarks: OzMoMu! The Ozark Mountain Music Festival draws a diverse lineup of musicians and their fans from across the country to Eureka Springs every year. The beloved event is like an outdoor music festival but held indoors at Eureka Springs’ historic Basin Park Hotel.

Performances are scheduled to kickoff Thursday night and continue for four days on multiple stages. A popular Late-Night Jam occurs on Friday and Saturday night at Chelsea’s Corner Cafe & Bar.

One of the best aspects of the festival is that there is no backstage. Consequently, band and audience members share the same space for the event, creating a fun and lively group intimacy between performers and fans. So very unique.

Best of all, Ozark Mountain Music Festival 2023 and Basin Park Hotel are all less than half an hour’s drive from Sugar Ridge Resort! Enjoy hours of mountain music at the festival, then it’s an easy hop back to your Beaver Lake cabin or suite. What fun!

The 75th Original Ozark Folk Festival

Original Ozark Folk Festival 2022

Celebrate the 75th annual return of America’s longest continuously running folk festival at the Original Ozark Folk Festival! November 10th through the 12th, 2022 at Eureka Springs City Auditorium.

The Original Ozark Folk Festival has been a Eureka Springs tradition since 1947, drawing talented musicians, entertainers, and crowds of Folk and Americana fans every year.

The annual festival is much more than a simple multi-day concert. The festival’s main aim is keeping the traditional folk music and traditions of the Ozarks alive.

Many performers come to the festival with homemade instruments. Either treasured heirlooms or results of their own craftsmanship. In fact, a good part of the festival’s attraction, after the music of course, are all the artisans selling genuine, Ozark folk masterpieces.

This year marks the 3-day event’s 75th anniversary and, as such, promises to be more exciting than ever. It also marks the first return to a full and centered festival after a few years of pandemic precautions.

2022 promises a return to a more traditional festival. There will be scheduled concerts at the City Auditorium, free concerts in Basin Spring Park, and a variety of other events, performances, and impromptu jam sessions all around town.

You’ll also be able to peruse the offerings at the Ozark ‘Folk Faire’ in the Auditorium Basement, 10am to 3pm, all 3 days. Here, local musicians, artisans, and museums will showcase their wares and ties to the history and future of folk in the Ozarks.

Perhaps best of all, Sugar Ridge Resort is less than a half hour’s drive from all the Folk Festival fun in downtown Eureka Springs!

Spend your day enjoying the music and other folk traditions of the Ozarks, then it’s just a quick drive back to the comforts of your Beaver Lake cabin or lake view suite. Perfect!
