The Hot Springs Music Festival Board of Directors have made the difficult decision not to hold a summer festival in 2023. “For the past several months, we have been evaluating different strategic partnerships. Recently, it has become clear that the necessary resources are not in place in time for this summer’s festival,” said David Palmer, Interim Executive Director. The board plans to use the season off to strategically reevaluate festival funding, operations, and programming.  “We will announce future plans as soon as we can responsibly proceed.”
