Head To The Top Of This Flower-Covered Mountain To Celebrate Arkansas’ Daffodil Festival

Head for the hills to see a yellow field full of daffodils! The Wye Mountain Daffodil Festival in Arkansas will be in bloom soon. This family-friendly spring festival is a perfect way to welcome the season. Let’s frolic to this festival and see the hundreds of daffodils atop the mountain as people have for over 40 years.

Even when it's not in bloom, Wye Mountain is a relaxing spot.

The mountain is northwest of Little Rock in the tiny town of Bigelow. Anytime of the year makes for a relaxing visit but you really shouldn't miss the Wye Mountain Daffodil Festival.
When the flowers are in bloom folks flock to the mountain quicker than honey bees.

This daffodil fest brings a flower-powered bustle to the mountain. Expect to peruse plenty of craft and food vendors, listen to live music, and be surrounded by a gorgeous field of flowers!
We won't stop you from frolicking through the acres of daffodils during the festival.

Pictures, frolicking, and general merriment are welcomed during the festival. The field is quite irresistible during the full bloom: it's about seven acres and has thousands of daffodils! The daffodils aren't all the same type either, you'll find a variety of small cup, large cup, trumpet, and others around the field.
In addition to the normal festival activities, this flower fest also has a plant swap!

Refrain from picking anything from the fields and instead take home your own bulbs to plant! This is an easy way to spread the beauty of Wye Mountain to the rest of Arkansas.
We hope we planted the seed for you to bring your family to the annual Wye Mountain Daffodil Festival!

 Are there other spring festivals in Arkansas?

The Magnolia Blossom Festival in Magnolia, Arkansas is fun. There are all sorts of fun activities and things to look at, but many are most interested in the steak cook-off which brings in all kinds of talent.

There is a lantern festival each year that coincides with the Lunar New Year. This spring festival is in Little Rock and it is beautiful. 

What else is going on at Wye Mountain?

There is a farm named Wye Mountain Flowers and Berries that have, you guessed it, flowers and berries that you can pick. It’s a gorgeous place to visit. 

There is also a bike route that cyclists enjoy called the Wye Mountain Loop. It’s a bit over 30 miles on a road route that takes riders around Lake Maumelle and through the countryside. 

Recommended activities for the spring in Arkansas?

Spring in Arkansas is pretty. It’s always good to get a list of places to check out flowers in bloom among sometimes dramatic settings. Buffalo National River is alive in the spring and the dramatic bluffs behind all the green leaves are awe-inspiring. Check out the article The History Of Arkansas’ Buffalo National River Goes Back Further Than You Think to learn more.

Taking a nice drive down Hwy. 23 is a ritual for many. It’s also known as the Pig Trail Scenic Byway. Read the article There’s Nothing Quite As Magical As The Tunnel Of Trees You’ll Find At Pig Trail Scenic Byway in Arkansas to learn more about it. What a great road for a car or motorcycle. 

Waterfalls are more dynamic in the spring due to the seasonal rainfall. One of the most photographed spots in Arkansas is Cedar Falls. It’s in Cedar Creek Canyon and well worth your time.
