The story

Murfreesboro Diamond Festival in Murfreesboro

Murfreesboro's diamond-themed civic festival, most currently promoted as Diamonds in the Fall, is held each October on the town square and timed to coincide with visits to nearby Crater of Diamonds State Park, the only site in North America where the public can dig for diamonds and keep what they find.

Murfreesboro, Arkansas holds a distinction unmatched anywhere else in North America: it sits beside the only site on the continent where the public can search for natural diamonds in their original volcanic source and keep whatever they find.
