Downtown Springdale Celebrates Fall in the Ozarks with its 6th Annual Ozarktober
Springdale, AR – Downtown Springdale announces its line-up of events for Ozarktober 2022.
Ozarktober, a celebration of fall in the Ozarks, will be held during the month of October in downtown Springdale. Many of the events will take place outdoors and in the Downtown Outdoor Dining District from October 8th through the 30th.
“We want the community to feel right at home when they come downtown,” says Jill Dabbs, Executive Director, Downtown Springdale. “We’re all about bringing people together from all walks of life and cultivating relationships. Ozarktober is just one of the many events that we host in that spirit, and we love this one because it takes place during such a beautiful season in the Ozarks.” Tickets to the events can be purchased at https://bit.ly/3COkrKh.
Ozarktober is hosted by Downtown Springdale and presented by Cromwell, a longtime partner of the downtown. “As architects and designers, we are equally proud and humbled to be a thread in the fabric that makes up downtown Springdale,” says Josh Danish, NWA Regional Director, Cromwell. “The events of Ozarktober are a great expression of the sense of place, culture, and fellowship we have to offer in our city. Sponsoring these events is a way for us to contribute to and show our appreciation for this resilient and diverse community where we live.”
Ozarktober is made possible thanks to a variety of local organizations who have come together to provide the community with a festive way to celebrate fall in the Ozarks, including Arkansas & Missouri Railroad, Arvest Bank, City Church, Cram-A-Lot, EcoRoxEnergy, Explore Springdale, First Security Bank, George’s Inc., Legacy National Bank, Level 5 Architecture, The Apollo on Emma, Tyson Family Foundation, and the Walmart Foundation.
