The Pea Ridge Mule Jump is an annual event held each autumn in Pea Ridge (Benton County). Each year on the second Saturday in October, spectators come from all around to enjoy this unique competition. First held during the town’s Fall Festival in 1985, the event has been called the Pea Ridge Mule Jump since 1989. Now sponsored by the Pea Ridge Parks Commission and the Friends of Pea Ridge, the event has become a popular attraction.
