SPRINGDALE, AR - The Downtown Springdale Alliance is proud to announce the return of its signature Street Dinner, celebrating its 10th Anniversary on Sunday, June 7, 2026, in the heart of Downtown Springdale. Presented by Milestone Construction Company, this event brings the community together for an unforgettable evening of food, connection, and shared celebration along Emma Avenue.
For a decade, the Street Dinner has transformed Downtown Springdale into one long, shared table - bringing people together in a meaningful way. This year’s anniversary continues that tradition with a thoughtfully designed experience centered on connection, place, and the restaurants that make this community what it is.
A Reimagined Experience
In celebration of ten years, the 2026 Street Dinner features a culinary approach rooted in the restaurants that call Downtown Springdale home. Featuring Buck’s Bar, The Odd Soul, Mr. Taco Loco, Casa Alejo, Rein Sushi & Hibachi, Menya Kitakara, Bistro 16, Shelby Lynn’s Cake Shoppe, Toca, Zelli Pasta, Kin Zabb Thai & Sushi, The Blind Bear, Onyx Coffee Lab, Gaskins on Emma, and the Arkansas Food Innovation Center at Market Center of the Ozarks (AFIC@MCO), each partner will serve signature offerings that reflect the flavors, stories, and everyday rhythm of this community - bringing an authentic taste of Downtown directly to the table.
The evening will begin at 5:00 PM with the first course - a self-guided experience inviting guests to explore appetizer tastings and beverage stations throughout the corridor. From there, guests will transition into the seated portion of the evening, continuing the four-course dinner with shared table starters, a curated entrée service, and a sweet finish, before the night opens into music, drinks, and continued connection under the open sky.
A New Ticket Model Rooted in Community
The Downtown Springdale Alliance actively seeks for ways to make sure all events and programs are accessible and welcoming for the very community it aims to serve. While remaining the organization’s largest fundraiser, the 10th Anniversary Street Dinner has been designed to remove barriers and create more opportunities for people to feel welcomed and included.
The new ticket model helps make that possible. While every ticket includes the same full dining experience, guests can choose how they show up for the community. Standard and Legacy Tickets help make Community Tickets possible, with a portion of those purchases contributing to expanded access and including a tax-deductible component. It’s a simple way to extend the table-creating space for more voices, more stories, and more connection.
Community Ticket ($50) – An accessible option designed to ensure more members of the community can take part in the evening - same seat, same table, same full experience.
Standard Ticket ($100) – A seat at the table that supports Downtown Springdale while helping make additional Community Tickets possible.
Legacy Ticket ($200) – A way to show up as a champion for the community - opening the table wider so more of the people who shape and show up for Downtown Springdale every day can be part of the night.
Supporting a Vibrant Downtown
The Street Dinner was created to bring people together - and that purpose continues beyond a single night. Proceeds support year-round programming that fosters connection, uplifts local businesses, and keeps Downtown Springdale vibrant, welcoming, and growing.
Community & Sponsor Support
The Downtown Springdale Alliance extends its gratitude to its sponsors for making this event possible, including Milestone Construction Company as Presenting Sponsor and Legacy National Bank as Happy Hour Sponsor, along with all Table and Culinary Sponsors.
“Milestone Construction Company is proud and excited to be part of this incredible evening and to support the great momentum happening in Downtown Springdale,” said Sam Hollis, CEO of Milestone Construction Company. “We’re passionate about being involved in the growth and energy of this community-and committed to helping it thrive.”
Tickets are limited and this event has historically sold out. Advance purchase is strongly encouraged. For more information on the event and to purchase tickets, follow the link here.
Please note: This is a rain-or-shine event. Tickets are non-refundable as this is DSA’s largest fundraiser of the year and many event costs are planned and paid for in advance.
