The story

Ozark Moonshine & Music Festival in Clinton

Ozark Moonshine & Music Festival pairs Arkansas craft distiller tastings with bluegrass and folk music at the Van Buren County Fairgrounds in Clinton. Open jam sessions let musicians join in rather than stay confined to the main stage, while food trucks, craft vendors, and interactive exhibits fill the grounds through the afternoon. Distilling and music share equal billing across the day.

By midday the Van Buren County Fairgrounds feel half dance hall, half front-porch reunion: boots scuff the dirt, a bluegrass tune snaps to life, and somebody is already carrying back a tasting glass with a grin.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

This festival treats moonshine heritage and live music as two halves of the same story rather than separate attractions: Arkansas craft distillers pour tastings just steps from the stage, and open jam sessions let the picking spread beyond the scheduled acts into informal circles anyone can join

02

The mystery stays covered

Bluegrass and folk performances run from early afternoon into evening, giving the day a steady build rather than a single peak

03

The city starts moving

Craft vendors and interactive exhibits add a working-fair feel to the grounds, and the whole event leans on the idea that regional distilling history is best experienced alongside the music that grew up around it in the Ozarks
