Fairfield Bay made waves again this summer at the annual “Surf the Bay” Water Sport Festival at the Fairfield Bay Marina.

The free event featured wakesurfing, flyboarding, paddle boarding, kayaking and family-fun water slides where you could “ride the wave.” New this year was a Heartland Classic Boat Show, featuring beautifully restored antique wooden boats from days gone by. The festival also hosted the first wakesurfing contest in Arkansas.

“Surf the Bay” kicked off with a big beach party, featuring live music, water games, dinner, refreshments and more. Activities started early Saturday morning with food vendors, hiking at nearby Sugar Loaf Mountain and plenty of outdoor activities on land and fun in the water.
