Gay-friendly Eureka Springs rolls out the red carpet for LGBT visitors

If there's burlesque, bluegrass, pool parties, drag shows, crowded dance floors and packed-to-the-rafters bars and restaurants, then you know Summer Diversity Weekend 2013 has arrived--along with hundreds of gay and lesbian visitors from far and wide. The weekend kicks off early on Friday, Aug. 2, with a two-day Absolutely Fabulous Big Gay Yard sale, starting at 7 a.m. in the W.T. Focker's parking lot at 2100 E. Van Buren. Proceeds will benefit the new Eureka Springs Gay Business Guild. At 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, the traditional Diversity Weekend Meet 'n Greet at KJ's Caribé Restaurante y Cantina at 309 W. Van Buren will give LGBT visitors and locals a chance to mix and mingle before heading out to such nightspots as Voulez Vous, Henri's Just One More, Eureka Live Underground, the New Delhi Cafe and other venues. After a night on the town, the public is invited to the family-friendly Public Display of Affection and photo op in Basin Spring Park on Spring Street on Saturday, Aug. 3 from 11:30 a.m. to noon. For the full Diversity Weekend schedule of events go to: http://www.gayeurekasprings.com/summer-diversity-2013 or check out the schedule below: Summer Diversity Weekend 2013 EventsSummer Diversity WeekendAll day Fri., Sat. & Sun., August 2-4
