Tontitown Grape Festival Set to Thrill on August 6-10
The town of Tontitown is eagerly awaiting the arrival of its annual Grape Festival, scheduled to take place from August 6 to August 10. This highly anticipated event, consistently voted the top fair and festival in Northwest Arkansas, promises a week of vibrant entertainment, mouthwatering Italian cuisine, and a celebration of Tontitown’s rich Italian heritage.
This year, the festival will feature a range of exhilarating experiences. In addition to free parking and admission, attendees can enjoy nightly entertainment, including a popular spaghetti dinner served from August 8 to 10. For those seeking additional thrills, the Grape Stomp event is set for August 6 and 7, offering a lively and memorable experience.
The festival’s new location at 2479 N Shiloh Dr., Fayetteville, AR 72704, promises ample space for the diverse activities planned. Visitors can indulge in the colorful Arts & Crafts Fair, browse through a used book sale, or even participate in the Run for the Grapes for both kids and adults. The coronation of the Queen of the Festival will be another highlight of the event, further enriching the festive atmosphere.
As participants and visitors alike immerse themselves in the merriment, they will be reminded of the rich history that underlies this annual celebration. Tontitown’s Italian immigrants, who faced economic hardship and unrest in their native land, brought their traditions and spirit to America. Over time, their community flourished, and the Grape Festival grew to become an integral part of their heritage, blending faith, food, and fun.
This year’s Tontitown Grape Festival, set from August 6 to 10, is poised to be an unforgettable experience, blending the past and the present to create a lively tribute to the town’s Italian roots.
