The Wye Daffodil Festival takes place annually atop Wye Mountain in rural Perry County, Arkansas. The festival is organized by the adjacent Wye United Methodist Church on Arkansas Highway 113.
The Wye Daffodil Festival began in March of 1978 to commemorate the passing of Austin Harmon, who sold bulbs from a seven acre plot leased from the church. As many as ten thousand visitors throng the site each year. The festival also hosts a simultaneous craft fair hosted by the Wye Homemakers Extension Club.
