VIP Parking Pass Tips

A few years ago, we began giving away VIP Parking Passes.  The VIP parking spaces are located next to the Fair's Information Booth right inside the main gate.  These spots are the absolute closest you can park to the exhibits.  When we first started offering these passes, there were two VIP parking spaces available.  This year, two more spaces were added for a total of four VIP parking spaces.

As with all new things, there have been a few hiccups along the way.  We have received a lot of helpful feedback from past VIP parking pass winners and have tried to make adjustments accordingly.  Below are a few tips for VIP parking pass holders. 

  • If possible, arrive in War Eagle from the Springdale direction (see this post for helpful driving directions).  The War Eagle Fair is located on the west side of the War Eagle River.  Arriving from the Springdale direction allows you to avoid crossing the old, one-way bridge over the river.
  • When you arrive, let the deputy directing traffic know that you are a VIP parking pass holder.  They will then direct you to where you need to be.
  • If for some reason, you are unable to use your VIP parking pass, you are welcome to share it with a friend or family member.  If you won a VIP parking pass that is good for multiple days, you are also welcome to share it. 
 We hope that you'll enjoy your time at the War Eagle Fair!  If you have any comments or suggestions after your VIP parking experience, please feel free to share them with us via email at info@wareaglefair.com.

A Short History of the War Eagle Fair

The War Eagle Fair has a rich history, full of stories that are just begging to be told.  For this reason, the history of the Fair will have to be told over multiple posts.  That, after all, is part of the purpose for this blog.  We want to share more than just a blurb with you about the Fair.  But, before we start our trip down memory lane, I thought it would be good to do a short version of the Fair's history. The War Eagle Fair was founded in 1954.  It was the brainchild of Blanche Elliott.  After a successful week of a weaving course hosted in War Eagle by the Northwest Arkansas Handweavers Guild which ended with a exhibition of items created during the course, Mrs. Elliott was inspired to put together an arts and crafts fair with the beautiful War Eagle River valley as the backdrop.  Fall was chosen in order to showcase the colorful beauty of the Ozarks foliage as well as the traditional arts and crafts.     The first War Eagle Fair, attended by 2,259 people according to

Getting to the War Eagle Fair

A view from above: The Fair in the 80s War Eagle is nestled in a beautiful river valley amongst the rolling hills of Northwest Arkansas.  The journey is a scenic one regardless of what time of year you decide to make it.  However, if you are not a local, or even if you are a local but not familiar with the more rural areas of Northwest Arkansas, finding War Eagle can seem challenging.  Here are some basic directions from a few different directions.  (For more specific directions, we recommend that you use Google Maps or Mapquest .  You can put in 11037 High Sky Inn Rd, Hindsville, AR in as the physical address.) Please note that we recommend arriving from the Springdale/Fayetteville direction in order to avoid traffic back-ups around the historic War Eagle Bridge.  Also note, our parking fee is collected when you exit our parking lots .  This keeps traffic from backing up on the roads.  If you pay a parking fee when you enter the parking lot, you have not parked at the War Ea
