The festival kicks off with a Kids Parade, followed by the Main Parade with floats, antique cars, horses, bikes, wagons and marching bands. Immediately following the parade, lunch is served featuring beans and cornbread, hamburgers and hot dogs. Other activities at the Witts Springs Hillbilly Daze include horseshoes, turtle races, a silent auction, arts and crafts booths and live entertainment.

Witts Springs Weather & Climate

|
Northern Arkansas is an area of rugged hills and deep valleys. This area is the coolest and driest part of the state. It also receives the most snow than any other part of the state, and may also receive sleet and freezing rain. This region generally receives several inches of snow each year due to the proximity to the plains states and the higher elevations. Summers are hot and humid, with frequent thunderstorms. Arkansas is known for being in the path of tornadoes. Also, while being far enough away from the coast to be safe from a direct hit from a hurricane, the state can often get the remnants of a tropical system which dumps tremendous amounts of rain in a short time and often spawns smaller tornadoes.
