One of the really great fall events 
in Hot Springs, Arkansas is the Legends Balloon Rally, Sept. 24 & 25, 2010. Balloons from across the country take flight, and the awesome balloon glow on both nights is a site to behold. Not only will you be entertained by balloons, you’ll enjoy the FREE concerts by Clint Black (Fri) and Charlie Daniels Band (Sat). The entire weekend festival is FREE! 
We’d love for you to stay at our bed & breakfast inn while you’re attending the festival. Great fun!

One-of-a-kind in concept and execution, the Hot Springs Music Festival brings together over 250 international musicians each June to our wonderful city of Hot Springs. Lookout Point Lakeside Inn delights in sponsoring the Music Festival, and whenever possible we try to catch a concert or rehearsal. Rehearsals are FREE!
The Festival, now in its fifteenth season, pairs world-class mentor musicians from major orchestras, chamber ensembles and conservatory faculties with especially talented pre-professional apprentices–all of whom receive full scholarship plus housing; the two groups play “side by side” in orchestral, chamber, solo recital, vocal, choral and chamber opera repertoire. For two weeks, these musicians form a unique community, presenting 20 concerts and over 250 open rehearsals for music lovers from across the globe.
We invite you to enjoy the amazing Hot Springs Music Festival! The extraordinary talent inhabiting Hot Springs during these two weeks takes my breath away. This is a time to feed the soul!

Lookout Point advidly recycles and seeks ways of minimizing waste. So we’re excited to attend the 6th Discarde D’Arte Recycled Sculpture Contest at Hollywood Park, May 8, 10am-5pm. Hollywood Park just happens to be Nikki’s (our yellow lab mix) favorite.
The 
Recycled Sculpture Contest showcases the artistic talent and creativity of area individuals, civic, school and other groups using recycled, and/or reused items as the media for art. Prizes are awarded to winners by popular vote. Enjoy a great walk while admiring creativity.

Tulips. 100,000. Every color, size and shape. Really, it’s a drop-dead gorgeous stroll through the Garvan Gardens. 
From now through April 4, the Tulip Extravanganza is in full bloom.
Honestly, the beauty takes my breath away. These gorgeous gardens herald hope, joy, and vitality.
Of course, the gardens at Lookout Point are bursting forth with spring’s promise. Forsythias, early azaleas, daffodils, and phlox are in blooming proudly. Come see us!

A sense of humor and the ability to laugh at ourselves. Enjoying sheer silliness. Truly that’s the nature of the people of Hot Springs. The World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade is testimony to this fun-loving town.
The parade lasts a total of 99 ft–the entire length of Bridge Street. For a High School band, that means only 99 feet of the band can play at one time!
The gold at the end of the rainbow may be found in Hot Springs, Arkansas, along with celebrity Grand Marshal Bo Derek, green fireworks, Irish belly dancers, floats, Irish Order of Elvi (a group of Elvis look-alikes), marchers, Irish Wolfhounds, and the Pub-Crawl.
Previous grand marshals include Mike Rowe (of TV’s Dirtiest Jobs), Mario Lopez, and Norm from “Cheers”. Come enjoy a good laugh, green fireworks, and perhaps a pint of green beer. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Gallery Walk, held the first Friday of every month, welcomes visitors and local folks to the amazing art galleries in downtown Hot Springs. This Friday, March 5, from 5-9pm, the art galleries will be open. Stroll the downtown, sip a glass of wine, nibble on refreshments provided by the galleries, and visit with the artists.
One of our favorite local artists is Richard Stephens, a nationally recognized and award-winning watercolorist. He recently visited Lookout Point gardens, and captured the peaceful feel of our gardens and Lake Hamilton. When you stay at Lookout Point, you’ll see several pieces of his original art. Some of our favorite galleries include Blue Moon, Alison Parsons, Justus Fine Art, Gallery Central, and the Fine Arts Center.
Hot Springs, Arkansas was named the 4th best arts community in the United States (right behind Santa Fe). Who knew? Come on to Hot Springs for a lovely, almost springtime evening at Gallery Walk.

Within hours of the announcement, the phones were ringing constantly. The Race for the Ages, featuring two fabulous horses: Rachel Alexander, the 2009 Horse of the Year, and Zenyatta. They’ll race at Oaklawn’s Apple Blossom festival on April 9, 2010. 
The purse for the race increased from $500,000 to $5 million when an agreement was reached for these two horse to race against the other for the first time.
Travelers have been calling from around the world. A racing fan from Saudi Arabia called the little Hot Springs airport asking what size plane was “too big” to land. The airport director suggested this international traveler fly his 747 (!!!) into New York and rent a smaller plane there.
Lookout Point still has a couple of rooms available for Thursday, April 8 if you can come enjoy the excitement!

Nothing heralds the beginning of springtime like the first blooms of spring! Last week on a walk in the park, Ray & I saw a proud, yellow jonquil and I immediately felt more hopeful.
Hundreds of thousands of daffodils stand in full glory at the Garvan Gardens Daffodil Days. From February 15 through March 7th, bask in the glorious display of color as more than 175,000 daffodils are showcased. Take a walk to the Three Sisters of Amity Daffodil Hill and see Mother Nature at her best with this magnificent showcase of yellow and white daffodils!
Of course, the Lookout Point gardens will be soon bursting forth with color also. We look forward to seeing you in the spring.
