The inaugural NW Arkansas Food Festival will host nearly 40 local restaurants throughout the two-night event

ROGERS, Ark.- The NW Arkansas Food Festival, in conjunction with the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship presented by P&G, is proud to announce the final restaurant roster for the food festival, happening June 25 & 26 at the Walmart AMP. The festival will consist of two events, Taste of NW Arkansas and NW Arkansas Beer & Burger Fest. With 1,000 tickets sold for each event, both are now sold out, officials say.

The entire Northwest Arkansas region will be well represented with restaurants spanning from Bentonville (The Hive, Tusk & Trotter American Brasserie) to Fayetteville (Ella’s Restaurant, Bouchée French Bistro) to Siloam Springs (Fratelli's Wood-Fired Pizzeria). At the Thursday evening event, Taste of NW Arkansas, local restaurants such as Vetro 1925 Ristorante, Roma Italian and Theo’s will join a roster of nearly 30 participating restaurants. On Friday evening, eight of the region’s best burger restaurants including Deluxe Burger and Levi's Gastrolounge & Lowbar will be on hand at NW Arkansas Beer & Burger Fest. Ruth’s Chris Steak House, Foster’s Pint & Plate, Big Rub BBQ and others will be present at both events.

“As proud members of the Pinnacle Hills community, we are excited to be a part of this world-class event at the Walmart AMP,” stated Scott Bowman, owner of the Bowman Restaurant Group. “Our new restaurants, Deluxe Burger and Roma Italian, along with Theo’s will be in great company at the NW Arkansas Food Festival, and we look forward to giving the Northwest Arkansas community a taste of what this area has to offer.”

Co-hosted by Celebrity Chef Carla Hall and Tyson Corporate Executive Chef and Director of Culinary Innovations Mario Valdovino, Taste of NW Arkansas will invite attendees to sample southern comfort inspired menu items from participating restaurants. Local favorites Core Brewing Company, Bike Rack Brewing Company and Ozark Beer Co. join a lineup of more than 50 breweries sampling their brews at NW Arkansas Beer & Burger Fest.
