The 5th Annual All Fool’s Day Parade returns to Eureka Springs, Arkansas on Wednesday, April 1. This lighthearted downtown tradition invites everyone to take part in one of the most unusual Eureka Springs events of the year.

Participants will gather at Mojo’s Records in Eureka Springs at 1 pm before the parade begins at 2 pm. The walking route travels from Mojo’s Records through downtown to Basin Park, right in the center of the historic district.

This is known as the People’s Parade, which means no sponsors, no cars, and no floats. It is simply a walking parade open to anyone who wants to join in the fun. Families, visitors, and locals are all welcome to participate.

Bring your kids, your dogs, your goats, or just bring yourself. Costumes, silly ideas, and creative characters are encouraged. If you enjoy quirky local traditions and things to do in Eureka Springs, this parade is one of the most entertaining ways to experience the town.

Anyone can join. Just show up at Mojo’s Records before the parade begins and walk along to Basin Park with the rest of the crowd.
