We've all heard that famous song by the one and only Frank Sinatra a time or two - The Best Is Yet To Come!
...Wait till your charms are right, for these arms to surround, You think you've flown before, but baby you ain't left the ground.
A wait till you're locked in my embrace Wait till I draw you near, A wait till you see that sunshine place Ain't nothin' like it here.
The best is yet to come, and babe, won't it be fine? The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine...
As you've heard me say time and time again on this blog and in person, I truly believe that it is the beautiful people of Eureka make the experiences happen here for locals and visitors and this town would be a very different place for all, if it were not for the joyful, loving people that make it so each and every day.
Spring has officially sprung and there are currently many talented Eurekan elves working behind the scenes to make new things happen in and around town . . . and YES - there IS much to look forward to. #thebestisyettocome
Take out your calendar and save-the-dates as we take a brief moment to feature some of what's ahead in the coming months for EVERYONE to enjoy right here in Eureka Springs, Arkansas:
OZARK MOUNTAIN ZIPLINES
There’s no doubt that flying through the Ozarks is radically cool and you can do that right here amongst the treetops with Ozark Mountain Ziplines!
It's an experience for all ages and it's a great way to appreciate the natural beauty in The Natural State. Experience over 1.5 miles of high-flying fun with the Full Course Canopy Tour!

FALL DIVERSITY WEEKEND 2026
Out in Eureka sponsors two Diversity Weekends each year in Eureka Springs, Arkansas with the help of local volunteers, organizations, and businesses. Eureka Springs is the only city in the United States to have this many “Pride” events. Our Diversity Weekends are held the first weekends of April and November.
Out In Eureka uses the name “Diversity Weekend” in place of “Pride Weekend.” Why? We do not want to exclude any person of the LGBTQIA+ or those of other religions, cultures, races, or creeds who celebrate their Diversity, and the Diversity of others.
Plan ahead folks, the Fall Diversity Weekend is one of the largest attended events in the city and getting rooms booked ahead of time is a great local tip.

EUREKA SPRINGS ZOMBIE CRAWL
When each October rolls around, Eureka Springs becomes Halloween City and on the last weekend of the month, Spring Street is taken over by a hoard of zombies during the annual Zombie Invasion. This event draws thousands of dead visitors with supernatural powers (that according to voodoo ritual) come back to visit the land of the living inside their own dead body. This event is huge and in a town this size, it does feel like an invasion. What's most amazing is that nearly everyone (95%+) in attendance makes an effort to become a Zombie for an evening.
This parade happens right downtown and usually ends at Basin Park where the local Zombie's shock the crowd and break out in a (flash-mob style) choregraphed dance.
Not Kidding! The first time I saw those random Zombie dancers bust out in moon-walkin' moves, I laughed my vampire teeth right out of my mouth. Don't miss this!
My friends, kiss the dog and leave the house; or better yet, take the dog with you, for
The Best Is Yet To Come.
There are wonderful moments ahead for you.
Listen! Hear that? That's Eureka Springs calling you back for another dose of joy.
