Eureka Springs Blues Party is back May 28–31 with big names, street music, and a full Weekend of Blues

Late spring in Eureka Springs means music in the streets, guitars echoing through the hills, and another unforgettable weekend of blues. The Eureka Springs Blues Party is back May 28–31, 2026, bringing four days of performances, street celebrations, and community events to one of Arkansas’s most vibrant music towns.

This year’s festival is the biggest yet, with nearly 30 performances across multiple stages, parks, and historic venues throughout the city.

A Powerful Lineup of Blues and Roots Artists

The festival kicks off Thursday night with a headlining performance from Grammy Award–winning guitarist Eric Gales, whose electrifying playing style has earned comparisons to legends like Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton.

Friday night turns the spotlight toward the Women of Blues, featuring Carolyn Wonderland, winner of a Blues Music Award and widely known for her fierce guitar work and soulful vocals. She’ll share the stage with internationally acclaimed guitarist Orianthi and rising blues-rock powerhouse Ally Venable.

Saturday night continues the celebration with the rich sounds of Southern Avenue, a Memphis-based band blending soul, blues, and gospel influences, before the night builds to a high-energy set from Dumpstaphunk, the New Orleans funk group known for keeping crowds dancing late into the night.
