Cornbread Ice Cream Is Just One The Wacky Treats At Arkansas’ Cornbread Festival
The 9th Annual Arkansas Cornbread Festival will be on October 26th, 2019. This delicious festival has an endless supply of cornbread of course, but we’re not just excited for the sweet and savory loaves. You’ll catch all sorts of odd cornbread-flavored treats around this fest. Let’s take a bite of this upcoming foodie festival.
The Cornbread Festival has quickly become a beloved foodie family tradition.
Although this is only the 9th year, the festival has already won multiple awards as well as the hearts (and stomachs) of countless Arkansans. This year's festival will be on Saturday, October 26th 2019. The fest is free but tickets are needed if you're wanting to taste the competition cornbread.
Tall or small, everyone can have a blast at the cornbread fest.
There's no question that this is a perfect event for families. In addition to the cornbread, festival goers can also enjoy street performers, face painting, tons of vendors, live music, and kid-friendly activities.
This year the festival is working towards a zero-waste campaign. Since we are in the Natural State, we can't think of a better place or fest to take on this challenge! You can read more about their five year plan for this greener fest right here.
The highlight of this festival is definitely the competition.
Besides the long row of food trucks, you'll assuredly leave this festival full after attending the cornbread tasting. The flavors will quickly delight your taste buds with spicy peppers, tangy fruits, and even crawfish pairings. For $8 (or $10 at the door) you can be part of the judging. You can get your early bird ticket by visiting the festival's website.
Probably the oddest treat you'll find at the cornbread fest is the dessert.
Local favorite, Loblolly Creamery, created a wacky cornbread ice cream for the festival. You may prefer sweet cornbread but what about cornbread sweets? This is one treat you'll definitely need to try before you judge.
This quirky festival is a fun way to celebrate fall and all things cornbread.
Take a break from the spooky season to tuck into a delicious foodie fest instead. You can follow the Arkansas Cornbread Festival Facebook Page right here. Or visit their website to see the full festival schedule.
