45th Annual Jonquil Festival
Jonquils are in bloom at Historic Washington State Park and a tremendous line-up of Entertainment and fun await those who will be visiting the park on March 15th through 17th for the 45th Annual Jonquil Festival.
Friday March 15th the Arkansas Symphony String Quartet will be on the front porch of Williams Tavern Restaurant from 11:00 AM until 1:00 PM entertaining those who are in line to get a great home cooked meal at the Tavern. Under the big tent on Friday from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, sit down and enjoy the sounds of “LIVE WIRE”, as they bring a new sound to the Friday festival atmosphere, followed by the “McWilliams Family” from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Saturday March 16th is highlighted with “Midnight Hurricanes” performing from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, followed by the wonderful family fun of the McWilliams Family again. And for those who want to combine a Sunday afternoon with the best in Christian/Gospel Music join the group “Level Ground” under the big tent from 12:00 noon to 2:30 PM. Since the festival host hundreds of crafters during this weekend, we wouldn’t want folks to miss visiting any of the great booths and vendors so we will also have the Hempstead County Melody Boys strolling the craft grounds to provide their great Bluegrass, for the avid craft shopper! Oh, and please feel free to join in or request your favorite song! Saturday brings the Life Share Bloodmobile to the festival, helping provide a vital service for our community and the surrounding areas.
