A well-known annual event in Northwest Arkansas, celebrated for its vibrant community spirit and rich Italian heritage, the Tontitown Grape Festival has been going since 1899, featuring grape harvests, grape stomps, and Italian food traditions.

Grapes have been an important main crop in the area, whose settlers cultivated both table grapes and wine grapes, gaining recognition for producing excellent wines, including chianti and muscatel varieties.

The Welch Company built a plant nearby in the early 1920s to process grape juice, linking the local grape industry to broader commercial ventures.

Since 2024, the Tontitown Grape Festival has been held in nearby Fayettevile, featuring spaghetti dinners, a grape stomp where participants stomp grapes, and live music.
