Eat Your Way Through Fayetteville’s Food Scene
BITE NW Arkansas is a food festival that runs alongside the Walmart NWA Championship, and this stop at the Ramble puts Fayetteville’s culinary scene front and center. Your $50 ticket unlocks unlimited tastings from 20 local restaurants and breweries, so once you’re through the gate, your wallet stays in your pocket.
Along with the food, you’ll find golf-themed activities and tournament-branded giveaways on site, including a P&G product gift bag that’s become a signature perk of the NWA Championship experience. Fireworks close out the night, making it a natural lead-in to Fourth of July weekend.

Free Music on the Sound Bites Stage
You don’t need a BITE ticket to enjoy the evening. The Fayetteville Sound Bites stage, sponsored by Slim Chickens, is free and open to everyone. Three local bands are lined up back to back:
- 6:15–7:15 PM: Ted Hammig and the Campaign
- 7:30–8:30 PM: The Uncrowned Kings
- 8:45–9:45 PM: Second Time Around
Bring a blanket or lawn chair, grab your people, and settle in. Picnics and lawn games are also part of the free portion of the evening.
Part of Something Bigger
This event is part of two milestones at once: America’s 250th anniversary celebration and the 20th anniversary of the NWA Championship. It’s the second stop in BITE NWA’s 2026 series. The first event, BITE @ the Walmart Home Office in April, sold out. The third and final stop is the BITE Experience @ the LPGA in September at Pinnacle Country Club in Rogers, running September 25–27 from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily. Tickets for that one are also on sale now.
Giving Back to NWA
Your ticket does more than get you through the gate. BITE NWA benefits the NWA Food Bank, Brightwater Culinary School, Black Owned NWA, NWA Equality, and Seeds that Feed. Head over to the BITE NWA charitable partners page to learn more about each organization.
Know Before You Go
All ages are welcome, but the experience is geared toward adults. Every attendee, regardless of age, needs a ticket at the same price. Bags are subject to search at the gate, and strollers are not permitted inside the venue. If weather becomes an issue, organizers will send updates through social media and email. Tickets are non-refundable.
The April stop in this series sold out, and the Ramble event is the only one set in Downtown Fayetteville. If you want in, get your tickets at stubs.net before they’re gone. There’s no buying at the door.
