Events under 'Outdoors'

Join us for a memorable evening under the stars in support of the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks! We’re excited to bring back the Autumn Gala, a seasonal celebration that raises vital funds for the Garden’s mission, with a special focus this year on restoring our cherished Butterfly House. Guests will enjoy garden-inspired cocktails, live music, a delicious buffet dinner, and a thoughtfully curated silent auction, all set against the beautiful backdrop of the Garden at dusk.

Ticket and event details found here.

Thursdays, 6pm – our Owl Creek ride (March-October) – We meet at Owl Creek Elementary and have 3 different groups, depending on participation.

Usually there is an “A” group/race (20+mph avg.) drop group,

a “B” group focused on group riding skills (16-19mph), no-drop group (meaning no one left behind),

and a “C group/ Beginner’s Group” – which is a more relaxed ride where newer cyclists learn about group riding basics and experienced riders enjoy a more social ride.

Join us!

Overnight Primitive Camping Available

Step right up for an unforgettable weekend of art, music, and mystique in the heart of Northwest Arkansas! Hosted by NWA CAMP, the Freak Show Day Fest returns for its third act—Master of All Elements—bringing together the weird, the wild, and the wonderfully talented from among us.

This immersive two-day festival transforms the natural landscape at Metal Mountain into a living dreamscape filled with live music, interactive art, circus spectacles, and otherworldly attractions. With 12 hours of live performances each day and camping under the stars, this is more than a festival—it’s a gathering of creators, misfits, magic-makers, and of course- FREAKS. We welcome people from all walks of life, feature music from all genres, and seek to create a community, impact, and connection through this shared experience. At its heart, Freak Fest is a celebration of self-expression, collective creativity, and all things alternative or other and the beautiful chaos that happens when we bring these underground ideals to the mainstream. Come as you are—and leave transformed.

Join us for 'Fall at the Farm'! Enjoy a corn maze, pumpkin and sunflower patches, bounce pillows, low ropes course, barrel train, hayrides, zip-lines, trackless train, corn pool, fall ball zone, a 6-acre barnyard play area and more!
