Fallin' Blackbird
FESTIVAL & 5K

The Beebe Chamber of Commerce is proud to host the Annual Fallin’ Blackbird Festival each year on the third Saturday in October. This festival celebrates the unique and mysterious event that took place in Beebe on New Year’s Eve in 2010 and again in 2011.

This event provides the perfect opportunity for families and friends to come together and enjoy a day of fun, food, and live entertainment. The festival includes a 5k run and fun run for kids, vendors, food trucks and a variety of entertainment. We invite you to join us and be part of this exciting event.

On December 31, 2010, thousands of red-winged blackbirds mysteriously fell from the skies of our small town. The bizarre event made national headlines and happened again in 2011 on a smaller scale. Although the event was unfortunate and uncontrollable, it was an occurrence that created quite the buzz in Beebe!
