Arkansas is no stranger to small-town festivals. In fact, we are known for having some of the quirkiest festivals in the country. Some of these festivals have been around for over 75 years, and these traditions are still going strong. One such event is the Yellville Turkey Trot which began in 1946, making it one of the oldest festivals in Arkansas. Featuring a parade, street dancing, a turkey calling contest, a lip-syncing competition, a Miss Turkey Trot pageant, and more, you should attend this event at least once. So, mark your calendars for October 13 and 14, to experience this one-of-a-kind, small-town festival in Arkansas.
