About Fall Fest
Fall Fest has been a Bryant tradition for nearly four decades — a free, family-friendly morning of vendors, live entertainment, games, and candy that draws neighbors from across Saline County. The 39th annual festival lands on Halloween morning, so costumes are highly encouraged.
Beginning this year, Bryant Parks and Recreation is proud to take the lead on Fall Fest in partnership with the Greater Bryant Chamber of Commerce, which built and grew the event over its first 38 years. The heart of the festival isn't changing — the same vendors, the same car show, the same Kidsland, the same trick-or-treating — it simply has a new home within the Parks Department.
Free to attend. No tickets or registration required for festival guests — just show up at Bishop Park on Saturday, October 31, 2026 between 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m..
What to Expect
Vendors & Car Show
Booth space and car show entries are handled by the Bryant Parks and Recreation office. Applications, fees, and deadlines for this year's festival are being finalized — contact the Parks office to be added to the interest list and we'll send details as soon as they're set.
Vendors of all kinds are welcome: crafters and makers, food trucks and concessions, small businesses, nonprofits, churches, and community organizations. Booths that hand out candy during trick-or-treating are especially encouraged.
Plan Your Visit
Fall Fest takes place at Bishop Park, 6401 Boone Road, Bryant, AR 72022. Parking is free on-site and fills up quickly — arriving early is the easiest way to get a close spot. The festival is held outdoors and runs rain or shine unless weather makes the grounds unsafe; any cancellation or schedule change will be posted here and on the City's news page.
Strollers and wagons are welcome, and the festival grounds are accessible. Pets are asked to stay home — crowds, costumes, and candy on the ground make for a stressful morning for them.
