Celebrate The World’s Sweetest Watermelons
Since 1980 we have been coming together to celebrate the "World's Sweetest Watermelons" and reconnect with family and friends. Now, in its 43rd year, the watermelon festival is the largest festival in the region and has been voted as one of Arkansas' best festivals. While watermelons are still at the center of our celebration, we also celebrate the people and businesses that make the Cave City area one of the greatest places in Arkansas! Come see what all the fuss is about!
