The 2026 Arkansas Cornbread Festival is being organized into distinct themed areas to create a sense of discovery as festival-goers move through SoMa, including a dedicated vintage market alongside our food, art, and maker sections. We’re inviting vendors to think creatively about how their products connect to the spirit of the day: Southern tradition, comfort, community, and of course, cornbread.

Whether you make it, bake it, thrift it, or craft it, we want to hear how your work fits into the story we’re telling this year. Tell us about your offerings and how you’d like to show up at the festival. We’re building something with real intention this time around.
