Eureka Springs Zombie Invasion

We have two exciting events currently scheduled for 2013! New for this year was a game of Zombie Tag at Lake Leatherwood City Park on Saturday, March 2, 2013. The event was a STUNNING success, with 107 "humans" braving the cold and zombie-infested woods. Armed only with marshmallows and Nerf blasters, players were sent on special survival missions in an attempt to survive a faux aocalypse. Josh Feuerstein traveled all the way from Dallas, Texas to be our winner. Local zombie Wyatt Pavelsek won the award for most humans turned, having personally infected 26 of them! The event was a benefit for the Flint Street Food Bank, and brought in LOTS of canned goods. Organizers Jeff and Christina Danos plan on hosting the event again next year.

Our next event will occur on November 2, 2013 - the Day of the Dead! Eureka Springs will host its SECOND ANNUAL Zombie Crawl & Day of the Dead Parade. The event is free and open to everyone. A creeping parade procession of funeral hearses, doomsday vehicles, Halloween floats, and post-mortem street performers will lead the hungry horde of the undead. Zombie participants are only asked to bring two (or more) cans of food to benefit the Flint Street Food Bank. We are currently seeking zombies for the crawl, and zombie-themed vehicles, Day of the Dead floats, and street performers for the parade. Several other pre-crawl events are also being planned; please see the schedule below. To participate in the parade or zombie crawl, please review our Day of the Dead Parade Guide and Zombie Crawl Frequently Asked Questions. Feel free to contact us for additional information.
