ROGERS, Ark., April 26, 2022 – Event organizers announced today that the BITE NW Arkansas food festival will return this summer and fall as a three-part event series in conjunction with the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship presented by P&G. The series will feature events in Downtown Rogers (July 29), Springdale (September 1) and onsite at Pinnacle Country Club (September 23-25) during #NWAChampionship Week.

Since the event’s inception in 2015, the festival has celebrated the region’s best cuisines, restaurants and chefs, giving attendees an elevated culinary experience in their own backyard. Traditionally, held in one location during #NWAChampionship Week, the expanded series will move to various locations throughout the region with both daytime and evening culinary experiences for the community to enjoy.

The 2022 #BITENWA Event Series will kickoff in Downtown Rogers on Friday, July 29 with a one-night event at Frisco Plaza, followed by a one-night event on Thursday, September 1 at The Jones Center in Springdale. The series will conclude with the BITE Experience @ the LPGA, held as part of the LPGA tournament at Pinnacle Country Club, Friday, September 23 – Sunday, September 25.

“We are thrilled for the return of the BITE NW Arkansas and look forward to celebrating the many diverse cultures here in the region through food, art and music,” stated Donna Morris, EVP and Chief People Officer at Walmart. “Through the platform of the food festival, we are proud to continue our efforts to create convening events for the region and to help make NW Arkansas an increasingly inclusive community.”

Tickets for the BITE Experience @ the LPGA will be available for $45, which includes daily grounds access to the #NWAChampionship in addition to food and drink sampling.
