Now in its 20th year, Valley of the Vapors (VOV) is an international underground music festival that typically takes place each March in Hot Springs. Since 2005, VOV has been bringing innovative performers from the global music and art communities to Hot Springs. VOV has hosted approximately 3,000 musicians and artists from such faraway places as Japan, South Korea, China, Norway, England, Germany, France, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Brazil, Mexico, and Canada. The festival is known for the out-of-the-ordinary hospitality afforded visiting artists, as well as the fun twists it puts on the format - secret shows, surprise locations and intimate workshops, to name only a few. In 2021, VOV relocated to Cedar Glades Park, a short drive from downtown Hot Springs.
