Toad Suck Daze

Toad Suck Daze The largest, free-admission, family-friendly festival in Arkansas. May 1-3, 2026 | Downtown Conway
(5)

A quirky name and a commitment to education are at the core of Toad Suck Daze. Founded in 1982, the award-winning festival takes place the first weekend of May and provides funding for education initiatives in Faulkner County. Festivalgoers from across the region – approximately 100,000 during the three-day event – gather in the streets of downtown Conway for food-on-a-stick, local and national en

tertainment, arts and crafts, activities for kids, and, of course, the World-Famous Championship Toad Races. Several festival-sanctioned events sponsored by local non-profit organizations take place throughout the weekend as well, including a 5K/10K race and the Tour de Toad bicycle race. To date, Toad Suck Daze has contributed more than $1.7 million to scholarships, scholarship endowments, and pre-K funding.

The festival may have been one month ago, but the community benefits are in full swing. This week more than 100 area students are attending an ACT preparation course coordinated by UCA Outreach & Community Engagement and Conway Public Schools.

These students will receive instruction and test-taking strategies from University of Central Arkansas faculty and alumni. Higher scores means more scholarship dollars for families. And it’s all possible because of our festival and sponsors. Kudos to these students for sacrificing a little bit of their summer for academic excellence!

This year at Toad Suck Daze, we introduced a brand-new volunteer initiative, the Junior Toad Council! This special volunteer team was created to help support the festival wherever needed most!

We loved piloting this new volunteer initiative and are so thankful for the energy and hard work this group brought to the festival.

We were thrilled to have dozens of kids and their families at the festival for our Bargain Brothers Green Ticket Toadal Kid Experience!

These elementary-aged kids got a behind-the-scenes look at Toad Suck Daze, touring the different parts of the festival, speaking with volunteers and vendors, racing toads, and getting plenty of opportunities to enjoy Toad Suck Daze! Thanks to Bargain Brothers for making this experience possible!

Westrock Coffee Tinkerfest, in partnership with the Museum of Discovery, was such a fun part of the weekend! 🛠️

Kids of all ages jumped in, building, creating, and trying something new at every table. Lots of laughs, a little mess, and the kind of fun that kept everyone busy.

Always a Toad Suck Daze favorite!
