Bridge of Love May 10-12, 2024
Bridge of Love ~ May 10-12, 2024
~Mother’s Day Living Art Installation
~Main Street Pedestrian Bridge, Eureka Springs, AR
(Basin Bath House Bridge)
~Show the Ladies in your Life some Love!
The Bridge of Love returns to Eureka Springs this year Friday, May 10 to Sunday, May 12, 2024 as families (local and tourists) come to Downtown Eureka Springs to celebrate Mother's Day Weekend. It is a heartwarming time on the Bridge, often mixed with tearful moments, as children, parents, grandparents, and friends tie flowers to the Bridge. Many place flowers in memory of loved ones, while others celebrate life and love, near and far.
As a part of the month long May Festival of the Arts, the Bridge will be in full bloom to “Feed The Soul”. This living floral art installation is being coordinated by Teresa Dickens Kolb of Eureka & Company Floral Designs, Ilene Powell, and Sandy Royce Martin, as well as many citizens of Eureka Springs. On Thursday, May 9 at 10:00am, the flower decorating will begin. All are invited to “Come Tie One On”. This year the Bridge of Love is made possible by a grant from the Eureka Springs Arts Council.
Thanks also go out to John Cross for permitting the use of the pedestrian bridge for the Bridge of Love. We hope everyone can take some time to enjoy the Bridge of Love, share stories of the women in the their lives.
Show the Ladies in your Life some Love! If you love women...mothers, grandmothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, cousins, and friends...bring fresh flowers (only) to fasten to the Bridge of Love! The Bridge of Love is the pedestrian/air bridge crossing over Spring and Main Streets in Downtown Eureka Springs.
