The Tontitown Grape Festival Celebrates Its 125th Year Amidst Comfortable Temperatures
The Tontitown Grape Festival has been a long-standing tradition since 1899, celebrating the Italian heritage of the city. This year, the festival marked its 125th year with a memorable finish.
The event, sponsored by St. Joseph’s Church, draws people from all over the United States and beyond, offering a range of activities and entertainment. Topping the list of attractions is the famous grape stomp, which took place on August 6 and 7 at its new location in Fayetteville, AR.
Visitors to the festival were treated to FREE parking, admission, and nightly entertainment. The highlight of the event was, of course, the delicious Spaghetti Dinners, served from August 8 to 10. These memorable dinners, a tradition dating back to the late 1800s when Italian settlers celebrated their harvest, have become a staple of the festival.
Innovative safety measures were also in place for the expected heat, ensuring a pleasant experience for all attendees. As the festival concluded, the comfortable temperatures solidified the event’s reputation as a delightful and memorable experience for people of all ages.
Organizers are already looking forward to the next year’s festival, seeking new and exciting bands to keep the entertainment fresh and engaging. For now, though, the Tontitown Grape Festival and its rich heritage have left a lasting impact on all who participated.
