Italian heritage and grape traditions fill five nights
Spaghetti dinners, grape stomping, a carnival, races, music, and Queen Concordia celebrations draw visitors across Northwest Arkansas during five festive nights.
Event details
The Tontitown Grape Festival has celebrated the town’s Italian heritage since 1899, filling five nights with homemade spaghetti dinners, grape stomping, carnival rides, live entertainment, arts and crafts, a Run for the Grapes, and the crowning of Queen Concordia. Few Arkansas festivals carry this much continuous history in one place.
As one of Northwest Arkansas’s largest festivals, the event gives families a full evening’s worth of activity in a single, walkable location: spaghetti dinners for a simple meal, grape stomping and carnival rides for children, and live entertainment to close out each night of the run.
Given its regional draw, staying in Springdale, Fayetteville, or Rogers makes the evening program easy to reach while leaving daytime hours open for Beaver Lake, Ozark trails, or Bentonville attractions. Pack a change of clothes if children plan to try grape stomping, and arrive early for dinner seating during peak evenings. It is an opportunity to take part in more than a century of continuous small-town tradition together, with enough variety across five nights that no two visits to the festival ever feel quite the same.
