Extended holiday weekends give us a reason to stretch the outdoor fun. Eureka Springs has multiple music venues with alternative stages, like everywhere. Local outfit Sad Daddy sings clever folk songs, with a wink to the absurd, at Brews on Saturday. A DJ spins music for dancing in Basin Park on Sunday afternoon to celebrate the beginning of wearing white shoes.
