A festival for celebrating sweets and Oktoberfest, happening on October 3rd!

Weekend plans in Texarkana, Arkansas tend to center around coffee and treats, then live events. Saturday often kicks off with coffee and a breakfast, and by late morning the Front Street TXK Foodie & Festivals Sweet Tooth Festival sets up at Bobby Ferguson Park from 11 AM to 6 PM. Expect families and kids comparing cotton candy, plus a row of dessert and snack vendors like Nothing Bundt Cakes Texarkana, Gelu Italian Ice, Dirty Dough, Tacos Xilitla, Paleteria y Neveria El Chango, Butter Me Up Bakery, Sweet Society, and Apron Strings.

Front Street Festival Plaza on the Arkansas side fills up for a German inspired Oktoberfest with Bier Olympics, food stands, and brewery tents. Music carries between games and picnic tables, and an indoor golf lounge runs a festival special, so groups split time between steins and swings. Flow feels walkable, with parks, the plaza, and small cafes close enough to string together into a full day, and the calendar adds similar pop ups through fall.
