Spring is the perfect time to get out and explore the natural beauty and unique attractions that make Arkansas such a special place. From blooming daffodils to one-of-a-kind celebrations, there’s no shortage of things to see during the spring season.
Wye Mountain Daffodil Festival (March 1–9, 2025)
One of the most stunning springtime traditions in Arkansas is the Wye Mountain Daffodil Festival. Each year, thousands of golden daffodils blanket the rolling hills, creating a breathtaking sight. This 47th annual event offers free admission and parking, making it an easy and beautiful way to welcome the season. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful Sunday, a perfect photo opportunity, or just a chance to enjoy nature, Wye Mountain is worth the visit.
The World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade (March 17, 2025)
For a celebration unlike any other, head to Hot Springs for the 22nd Annual World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade! Held on Bridge Street, the 98-foot-long parade route may be small, but the festivities are anything but. This year’s Grand Marshal, actress Valerie Bertinelli, will lead the fun, alongside wacky floats, dancers, and plenty of Irish cheer. It’s an unforgettable event full of Arkansas charm and St. Paddy’s spirit!
Arkansas offers a perfect mix of natural beauty, outdoor adventure, and unique quirky experiences. Whether you’re admiring the daffodils at Wye Mountain or celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in true Hot Springs fashion, there’s something for everyone to enjoy this season.
