Editing Paris, Arkansas (section)

== Local festivals ==
* Frontier Day - held on the first Saturday of October, Frontier Day celebrates the founding members of the city.
* Butterfly Festival - held the next-to-last weekend in June, it honors the multitudes of butterflies (both rare and common) found in the bluff region of Mount Magazine, founded in 1997.  The initiative for the festival was spearheaded by June Gilbreath (fundraising and awareness) after the discovery of a rare species of butterfly — the [[Diana fritillary]] butterfly that was previously thought to be extinct, but is found in abundance on the mountain summit.  The species has since been designated as the official state butterfly of Arkansas. The festival is celebrated at two sites, atop Mount Magazine and in downtown Paris. Attendance has steadily climbed since 2002 with the 2007 event topping 10,000 people.
* Farmers Market - beginning in May, farmers bring fresh produce to the square for sale.
