Fayetteville Falltoberfest

Join us on Sunday, October 4, from 12–6 PM as Fayetteville Falltoberfest returns for its fourth year, transforming the Upper Ramble and seven blocks of Dickson Street into one big autumn celebration.

This free community festival has something for everyone, including live music and performances on multiple stages, local craft beer and fall cocktails, Spirit-Free Sipping featuring non-alcoholic creations from downtown mixologists, the return of Mr. Oktoberfest and Dogtoberfest, local artists and makers, art installations, family-friendly activities, games, and more.

We'll also be welcoming an incredible lineup of performers on the two main stages, including Brian Martin, Cody Cooke and the Bayou Outlaws, The Irie Lions, School of Rock, Jack Lindsey Band, Hayefield, Mingo Drive, and the VIBE Dance Group.

Mark your calendars and get ready to celebrate one of Fayetteville's favorite fall traditions.

Know Before You Go

Dogtoberfest

Dogtoberfest is a dog pageant and costume contest held as part of Fayetteville's Falltoberfest celebration on Dickson Street. It's a lighthearted event where dogs and their owners can show off costumes, tricks, and personality while competing in fun categories for prizes.

Pre-registration has ended but walk-ups are welcome the day-of.

Dress up your pup and head to the Puritan Stage because this fan-favorite event is just as entertaining for spectators as it is for participants but if you would like to compete, register using the checkout below.

We're grateful to our friends at Hounds Lounge for sponsoring this year's pageant. A portion of the event proceeds will benefit Big Paws of the Ozarks, helping support their mission of caring for dogs in need.
