It's Showtime!

Nearly 60 RVs will be rolling into downtown El Dorado on Thursday, October 20th, for the fifth annual Airstreams on the Square. Main Street El Dorado partners with the Arkansas Razorback Airstream Club to host the campers. El Dorado is the first and only city in Arkansas to host such an event. The 2022 theme is "It's Showtime in El Dorado!", the tagline for El Dorado's Festival City brand.

Main Street El Dorado has plenty of activities lined up to help keep Airstreamers entertained while they are in town. Many of these events are open to the public and tickets are available for pre-purchase on their website.  Saturday morning brings the International Chili Society chili cookoff. All-you-can-eat chili samples will be on sale for $10 starting at 1 p.m., with participants voting for their favorite chili recipe at 3 p.m.

Airstreamers won’t be conducting RV tours this year, however, the public is invited to visit with campers and donate canned goods, which will go to the Salvation Army.

For a full schedule of activities and to purchase tickets to the public events, visit Main Street El Dorado or call the office at (870) 862-4747.
