Live From the Lake
The JukeBoxx Party Band is headlining the night, and they’re the kind of act that’ll get you moving whether you planned on dancing or not. With the lake behind the stage and the sun going down, you’ll have one of the better backdrops in the region for a Fourth of July show.
Beyond the Fireworks
Lake Leatherwood City Park is a 1,600-acre park just outside downtown Eureka Springs, better known the other 364 days of the year for mountain biking and swimming. On the 4th, you’ll find it filled with lawn chairs, kids, and people who’ve been making this trip for years.
On-site parking closes at 7:30 PM, so plan to arrive early. Shuttles run through the entire event if you need them. America turns 250 this year, and this is about as good a place as any to mark it.
