Labor Day Weekend, traditionally seen as the close to the summer season, finds lots of fun events in Hot Springs. Of course, water sports tops the list of a great way to relax and say farewell to summer. If you’re planning to rent a boat, do so right away!
Friday evening check out Gallery Walk in the historic downtown. You’ll see gorgeous art in all prices, meet the artists, and sip a glass of wine. Fun!
Saturday morning our own “Capt. Ray” provides a 90-minute boat tour of Lake Hamilton for guests of our Hot Springs bed & breakfast. Hear the stories of the mansions, and history of the lake.
Fireworks over Lake Hamilton
Fireworks over Lake Hamilton explode on Sunday evening. I love to hear the resounding echoes of the fireworks, bouncing around the lake, off the docks, and the mountains! The best fireworks viewing is from either J&S Italian Villa (reserve early!) or the Bell Riverboat fireworks cruise.

This weekend, July 15-17, you’ll find some pretty cool stuff happening in our lovely city of Hot Springs, Arkansas. Not to mention that as I write this post, it’s raining and temp dropped 30 degrees. Sweet!
Here’s some fun stuff:
Tour Lake Hamilton
- Captain Ray provides a 90-minute boat tour of Lake Hamilton for guests of our Hot Springs B&B. Tour departs at 10 AM, and returns to the inn by 11:30.
- Antique Walk, this Friday July 15 from 4-8 pm in the historic downtown. Explore some unique antique shops, then dine at one of our fav restaurants. We suggest Rolando’s for delicious Nuevo Latino fare, or Central Park Fusion, both within easy walking distance of Antique Walk.

The new Arkansas Theatre Works presents Marilyn–Forever Blonde, the Marilyn Monroe story told through her own words and songs.
Marilyn at the Arkansas Theatre Works
We’re excited about this new live theatre venue in Hot Springs. The opening season features 5 great shows.
Marilyn–Forever Blonde captures rave revues, and features Sunny Thompson in the role of Marilyn.
Of course, you’re invited to stay at Lookout Point Lakeside Inn, and enjoy the show.
“It is a haunting image that Sunny Thompson creates. Every nuance, every eye blink, every gorgeous gown and her walk is Marilyn. This is truly one of the greatest performances of the modern stage.” San Francisco Online Daily News

The 2011 thoroughbred horse racing season ended on Saturday with an exciting Arkansas Derby. The breathtaking finish scored an upset victory for ArchArchArch. Many Lookout Point guests enjoyed the entire week of Derby Days.
Arkansas Derby Fans
These featured guests travel from Illinois, Missouri, Florida, and Ohio each year, staying at Lookout Point for the past 7 years. Great laughter fills the inn, especially after the bloody Mary’s. Each year we look forward to the Arkansas Derby and the arrival of special guests!
It’s not too early to reserve your room for the 2012 Arkansas Derby, April 12-15.
