Arkansas Cornbread Festival

04/22/2026

🌽 Happy Earth Day Little Rock!

One year ago today, we shared some hard news - the Arkansas Cornbread Festival would be taking a pause for 2025. Today, on the very same date, we're back with something much more fun to say:

The Arkansas Cornbread Festival is returning November 7, 2026!

Mark your calendars, dust off your cast iron, and stay tuned! More details are coming soon and we can't wait to see you at the table!

Good morning! After a lot of discussion, we’ve decided to take a one-year hiatus from the Cornbread Festival in 2025 and will reassess on how to move forward with a potential future event. Thank you for your support!

Big Congrats to our downtown neighbor Aires Grill and Cafe for taking home this year’s People’s Choice Award with their Rosemary & Oil Olive Cornbread with Chimichurri!

👏👏👏👏

Many thanks to all the restaurants and vendors that participated today - you have our admiration and gratitude for coming out and strutting your stuff in less than ideal conditions that became almost perfect!

We'll post more later as we recover from an intense but successful event. Sincere thanks to our community for supporting us when we needed it most!🥰🌽
