On the third weekend of October -- known as "War Eagle Weekend" after the biggest of the fairs, at the historic War Eagle Mill -- there are arts and crafts fairs all over Northwest Arkansas. Thousands of people visit the Ozarks for this weekend, to see the fairs, buy handicrafts, and (if the weather cooperates) admire the fall foliage.
The Ozark region of Arkansas covers the northwestern corner of the state. Airport access is available through the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport, or XNA.
