Autumn Get Together in Eureka Springs

Submitted by 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa

Connect with friends who love live music and the outdoors at the Basin Park Hotel during our Autumn Get Together.  Open your senses to natural wonders, yoga, live music, hiking, biking, and other spirited activities. Gather your tribe and recharge your batteries with an autumn escape to your favorite place from November 12th to November 24th.

Get Together activities include a preview show of the Ozark Mountain Music Festival (OzMoMu), daily hikes, yoga, mountain bike rides, and signature events to include an Opus One Flight Night event and champagne Sunday Brunch at the Crescent Hotel.

With warm days, cool nights, and fewer bugs, November is ideal for hiking and mountain biking in the Ozark Mountains.  The downtown Eureka Springs and specifically the 1905 Basin Park Hotel is where many signature hiking and biking opportunities are easily accessed.

Arguably the best part about going on vacation is immersing yourself in the local culture by sampling some of the area fare.  Eureka Springs is home to a wide range of dining experiences. Each location is packed with authenticity and special signatures that will only be found here.

Evenings include Tap Take-Overs and brewery visits.  We will feature a daily route to sit and relax with a craft beer at one of our pubs.  You’ll fall in love with the stories, the character, the views, and the charm of each local brewery.

FLIGHT NIGHT:

Prepare to activate all five senses for Flight Night, scheduled for Saturday, November 20th beginning at 4 PM.  Your group will meet your host beginning at the top floor and climb to the roof where you sample a flight of craft beer and take in the breathtaking view you will see looking in all directions of Eureka Springs. 

Back inside your Behind the Scenes tasting adventure works its way down to the Barefoot Ballroom, then Down to the Bootlegger’s cave, a known speakeasy, for your featured tasting of Opus One Reserve and a specially prepared charcuterie, but you are not alone.  This is the most haunted space and we will break out the paranormal investigation equipment just to check if anyone else is sensing your energy.  Then it’s up the flight of stairs through the Rabbett Hole into Jack Rabbetts Whisky Bar.  Here you will smell the aura of a great whisky, distilled custom for the Basin Park Hotel’s Jack Rabbett’s Whisky Bar.  Our Dickel expert will share stories of its unique process and introduce three selections flight of whisky to include Jack Rabbett Select.  The night ends in JR’s Game Room for fun surrounded by the hotel archives.

Each year in Eureka Springs and the Ozark Mountains, the time period from Folk Festival and Thanksgiving opens a perfect window to get away before the holidays begin.  This hidden value season is ideal for friends to meet up to shred trails, hike the Ozarks and stretch the soul while turning nightly to home base for a craft beer, hearty meal, or memorable tasting adventure.  This travel has bloomed organically and will now evolve forward and grow annually as the Eureka Springs Autumn Get Together.
