Bluegrass is the fare and some is amazingly well done. The Ozark Folk Center features old time traditional music & dance, local & guest performers,with showtime 7:30 pm, Wednesday-Saturday nights. there are monthly Sunday gospel shows and special performance weekends. The center is open mid-April through October.
Other local favorites for folk music and comedy include The Jimmy Driftwood Barn and Mellon's Country Store and Museum.
