Ozark Folk Center State Park exists to keep alive the music, crafts and culture of the Ozarks. It is open from mid-April to mid-November. Visitors watch artisans at work in the Craft Village, stroll through the Heritage Herb Garden and hear live Southern mountain music. Artisans also run workshops through the year. The 2026 season opened April 14. The park sells season passes and tickets for both the Craft Village and the music shows, and has a lodge and restaurant.
