This event brings together some of the most talented carvers from around the country (and even some international talent) to showcase their skills and compete for cash prizes.

WHAT TO EXPECT: This festival brings the art and mastery of chainsaw carving to a family friendly festival. Throughout the festival, you and your family will be able to watch as raw logs are transformed into stunning works of art right before your eyes. Whether you’re a fan of bears, eagles, or other wildlife, you’ll find something to admire among the many pieces on display.

But the festival isn’t just about the finished carvings – it’s also an opportunity to help support some local organizations through a live auction held at 4PM on Saturday, April 27th. The proceeds from the auction will go towards helping area food pantries and to the Eureka Springs High School Skills Lab.

Unable to stay for the auction? Many of our carvers come with ready-made inventory, ready to pack up and take home with you!

With a perfect combination of art and nature, Carving in the Ozarks is a must-see event for anyone who loves both the great outdoors and great art.

Mark your calendars and come join us for this unforgettable experience on April 26-27, 2024!
