This year the Arkansas Lavender Festival will include vendors, 10 artist’s booths, live music, food, and onsite camping.
More Fun, Flowers, and now Art Themed, the Arkansas Lavender Festival (ALF) will take place Friday – Sunday, June 14 – 16, 2024, at a new location at Lake Banoe Lavender Farm, located 20 minutes west of Hot Springs, Arkansas, on Highway 70 just past Bonnerdale.
This year’s new connection to the Hot Springs Area Cultural Alliance includes 10 booths specifically for artists, creating a wonderful addition to many other vendors and exhibitors.
All the music, food, and vendor booths are located Lakeside on the banks of beautiful Lake Banoe.
“There’s not a Lavender Festival like this within 500 miles,” reports Denny Nooner, festival producer and owner of the Lake Banoe Lavender Farm. “The ALF is a celebration of local culture, arts, and crafts – and this year it is uniquely located on the banks of our private lake. It’s the most dramatic and beautiful location for any festival,” he added.
Two new expanded features include the acres of Sunflowers, creating the perfect backdrop for photos and the opportunity to pick your own. And Lake Banoe offers R.V. camping sites – both boondocking and selected sites that include hook-ups. Folks can stay all week or just for the weekend and enjoy the farm.
Also new with extended evening hours on Friday and Saturday, the festival will feature Jazz and Blues groups. Local groups performing will be Arkansas’s own Chad Marshall Band, and Don and Richard – straight from New Orleans also performing at the Eclipse Party, April 5 – 7, 2024.
“Last year’s attendance was well over 3,000. By moving to the farm we expect greater support from vendors and increased attendance,” stated Nooner.
The farm is located at 2723 Hwy. 70, Glenwood, AR, 71943. To reserve a booth or campsite, or for more information call 870-828-9413, or visit LakeBanoe.com, ArkansasLavenderFestival.com.
