Plan ahead for your trip to The War Eagle Craft Fair. Check the official website for the date, usually mid-October. The fair runs Thursday through Sunday, with gates opening at 8:00 AM and closing at 5:00 PM, except for an early 4:00 PM closure on Sunday. Admission and parking are free.
Book hotel reservations early for your visit to Northwest Arkansas. The Ozarks is a very popular tourist area, and accommodations fill up quickly. The village of War Eagle is located 13 miles east of Rogers, Arkansas. The closest hotels can be found on Beaver Lake, in Rogers, or in Eureka Springs.
Chart your travel to War Eagle from your point of origin. It is best to avoid the narrow War Eagle River bridge due to the large number of tourists on the road. Instead, approach the War Eagle Millyard where the fair is held from the south, using U.S. 412 and AR Hwy 303.
Enjoy the amenities of the fair upon your arrival. An efficient parking team will guide you in and out of the grounds. A free guidebook of exhibitors and two information booths will provide direction for your shopping adventure. You will find a conveniently located first aid station, plenty of restrooms, a complimentary package checking service and lots of refreshments and food stands. Be sure to visit the exhibit building, as well as the numerous tent-covered booths.
Experience all the exceptional craftsmanship the fair has to offer as you move from booth to booth. Use your guidebook to become familiar with what is available as you buy gifts and items for your own home. The broad array of arts and crafts will include woodcrafts, quilts, stained glass, leather items, jewelry, clothing, holiday items, wreaths and floral arrangements, potpourri, pottery, paintings and other art work, tole painting, folk art, candles and soaps, furniture--something for everyone.
