Back for its 19th year, Arkansas’s longest-running underground music festival! Low Key Arts is pleased to present the 19th annual Valley of the Vapors Independent Music Festival (VOV), taking place Friday-Sunday March 17-19, 2023 at Cedar Glades Park (461 Wildcat Road) in Hot Springs. 

JUST ADDED!

THE FOREIGN RESORT (Copenhagen, Denmark), CONSTANT SMILES (Sacred Bones Records), JOHNNY GERM AND THE MEMBRAINS (NJ), MOTHERHOOD (New Brunswick, CAN), MODELING (Fayetteville, AR), WEIRD MUSIC (Philadelphia), and BABYBABY_EXPLORES (Warwick RI). Additional artists TBA.

This third installation of VOV to take place at Cedar Glades Park in Hot Springs, will once again take full advantage of the spacious and magical setting provided by the park. 

Optional camping, a vending area full of artisans and craftspersons, hiking and biking trails, enchanting forests, and incredible panoramic views have brought a whole new atmosphere to this well-established and highly beloved event. BIG POPPA BUBBLE, a crowd-pleasing favorite for kids of all ages, will be present all weekend.

Coinciding with Austin’s South by Southwest and landing, as is often the case, on the busiest weekend of the year in Hot Springs, VOV provides a colorful and spacious alternative to downtown crowds and shenanigans and is especially rewarding for the musically adventurous. VOV features food trucks (including Tacos Xilitla, Picky Nikki’s Cajun, and Sweet Escape), beer/wine/liquor, and offers ample free daily parking.

Tickets are on sale now at valleyofthevapors.com and will also be available at the festival entrance. Tickets are $20 daily or $50 for a 3-day weekend pass. Children aged 12 and under enter free. Additional optional daily camping passes are available at $30 per vehicle, or an all-weekend pass of $75 per vehicle, with unlimited persons per vehicle allowed.
