Mark your calendars! From Thursday, September 25 through Sunday, September 28, 2025, Old Friend Farms in Prairie Grove, Arkansas will host Old Friends Reunion — a magical four-day festival of music, workshops, community, and reconnecting with nature.
What Is Old Friends Reunion?

It’s about building connection — to the land, to each other, to simple rhythms like dusk, dawn, campfires, shared meals. For folks tired of big, loud, over-produced festivals, this one offers breathing room. A chance to slow, listen, wander, and just be. It’s rural, rustic, inclusive, and rooted in community.
Who Should Go
- Lovers of folk, roots, and acoustic music
- Folks who want a break from urban life and a chance to camp in the woods
- Families looking for an affordable and nature-centered weekend
- Someone who wants to unplug, reconnect with friends (old and new), and really soak in the changing of the season
