About Cave City

Sitting right on the edge of the Ozark foothills, Cave City gets its name from the underground cave system and Crystal River flowing directly beneath Main Street. While the town originally grew around the natural cavern, it is best known today for growing some of the sweetest watermelons in the South. Life here moves at a relaxed, friendly pace, centered around a close-knit community and a beloved annual summer festival. It offers a quiet, small-town setting with deep roots and plenty of local charm.
