Welcome to Eureka Springs, AR

Yes.....Arkansas.  This progressive little town is home to amazing artists, Victorian architecture, talented musicians, panoramic views, crystal clear lakes, and a large GLBT and GLBT friendly community. There’s no need to look for a "gay district" in Eureka Springs. You’ll find rainbow flags flying throughout the town welcoming GLBT visitors. The majority of lodging facilities, restaurants, retail stores, and bars are MORE than GLBT friendly. As a matter of fact, they embrace diversity every day.  Approximately 1/3 of our population is gay or lesbian. With a domestic partner registry, three Diversity Weekends a year, more than 50 gay-owned/friendly businesses, and a laissez fair attitude, Eureka Springs has truly become an extraordinary escape for the GLBT community.
