Bean Fest & Great Arkansas Championship Outhouse Races
Downtown Courthouse Square, Mountain View, AR
An annual fall festival on the courthouse square in Mountain View built around a communal pot of beans, cooked in cast iron over open fire, and a race of hand-built, human-powered outhouses down Main Street. Now in its fifth decade, it draws costumed teams competing for gold, silver and bronze toilet-seat trophies and has been covered by national outlets as one of Arkansas's stranger traditions.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
