The Mulberry Mountain Harvest Music Festival, August 12-15, 2009, is showcasing an incredible array of Acoustic, Jam Band, Folk, Rock, Bluegrass, and Americana music sure to satisfy all your musical cravings. The festival is held at Mulberry Mountain Lodging & Events located North of Ozark, Arkansas on Hwy. 23, the “Pig Trail National Scenic Byway”
    The Mulberry Mountain Harvest Music Festival has quickly climbed to one of the most sought after music events in the nation. This year’s Harvest Music Festival will be headlining legendary acts such as the Ozark Mountain Daredevils and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band along with many rising stars like Umphrey’s McGee, The Avett Brothers, Railroad Earth, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Lotus, Tea Leaf Green, Hot Buttered Rum, Big Smith, and countless others. The event will feature over 65 live performances on 3 Stages. This is sure to be one of the most unforgettable festivals to ever take place at Mulberry Mountain.
    The event will coincide the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, and will occur during the Perseids Meteor Shower. The Perseids is one of the best meteor showers to observe, producing up to 60 meteors per hour at their peak. This year’s peak occurs on August 13 & 14, but you may be able to see some meteors any time from July 23 - August 22. The waxing gibbous moon will provide some interference in the evening, but after it sets, the morning hours should provide some spectacular viewing opportunities. The radiant point for this shower will be in the constellation Perseus. Look to the northeast after midnight.
    Along with four great days of music and camping the event will also include a variety of arts and crafts, delicious food, fire performers, hoop dance workshops, sound therapy, and many other fun activities. The beautiful amphitheater at Mulberry Mountain is one of the largest and most unique music venues in the country providing a spectacular concert experience like no other.
    The enormous stage is wonderfully constructed from cedar, native stone, and rustic metal giving it a true Ozark Mountain appeal.
    Guests can enjoy hiking trails, waterfalls, disc golf, bicycling, scenic mountain views, and much more from this magnificent festival in the Ozarks.
