If you enjoy bluegrass music, then make plans to attend the Fall Mountain View Bluegrass Festival. This annual event is slated to kick off on the evening of November 8, 2007 and run through Saturday November 10, at the Ozark Folk Center in Mountain View, Arkansas.
The festival will feature indoor and outdoor jamming areas and will be held rain or shine. This year's special guest performers include Kenny and Amanda Smith, The Boohers, Cadillac Sky, Bowles Creek, Hickory Hill, White Dove and The Nelsons.
Tickets are $15 per day or $40 for a three-day pass. Sponsored by the Mountain View Blue Grass Association, this popular event features three days of fun and music for the entire family. And if you miss this year's event, plan ahead for 2008, as it's always held on the second weekend in November.

Located approximately 100 miles northwest of Little Rock, the Ozark Folk Center features 24 buildings and outdoor areas that house craft demonstrations which highlight Ozark history and culture. There is level access to the ticket office, a lift-equipped shuttle bus to and from the parking area and barrier-free access to most of the demonstration areas. It's a fun place to spend the day and a great venue for the Fall Mountain View Bluegrass Festival.
