2010 Ozark Folk Festival schedule

The 63rd Annual Original Ozark Folk Festival takes place Nov. 4 – 6 in Eureka Springs, and this year’s lineup features Fayetteville’s own 3 Penny Acre and Cletus Got Shot.

Eliza Gilkyson headlines the featured show Saturday night at the Auditorium, while various Cletus and 3PA performances are scattered across all three days of the festival. Regional favorites Big Smith are also set to play.

As usual, there’s a craft show and the traditional Barefoot Ball. Organizers hope this year will be the first of many for a new event – a talent show competition – which will will be inaugurated Thursday evening.
