Country music stars will be making their way to Mountain Home June 12, 13 and 14 for the first annual Arkanfest at Hickory Park. The three day event is a re-imagined take on the previously popular Baxter Concert Series that was held during the summer months. Organizers decided this season to pool all the resources they had into one star studded weekend to give concert goers an experience they usually have to travel far away to experience.
Rickey Crawford with Frontier Events says the cost savings opened up the budget for the biggest artists they have ever booked on the Farmers and Merchant’s stage at Hickory Park.
