The 10th Anniversary Street Dinner Downtown, hosted by the Downtown Springdale Alliance and presented by Milestone Construction Company, will be Sunday, June 7, 2026, from 5:00-9:00 PM.

For ten years, this beloved tradition has transformed Emma Avenue into a stunning long-table dining experience unlike anything else in Northwest Arkansas.

To mark a decade of gathering under the open sky in the heart of Downtown, we’re doing something special: partnering directly with the restaurants that call Downtown home. Each culinary partner is bringing a signature dish straight from their kitchen to your table - making this the most authentic Street Dinner yet. No outside chefs. Just the flavors that make this street, this neighborhood, and this community one of a kind.

The Street Dinner is the Downtown Springdale Alliance's signature fundraiser, with all proceeds supporting year-round programming that cultivates a vibrant, thriving Downtown Springdale.

The evening’s dinner program will take place from 5:00-8:00 PM, followed by an hour of live music and dancing until 9:00 PM. For those who wish to linger, the night continues - an open invitation to celebrate, unwind, and enjoy the moment a little longer.

Tickets

This year, we’re trying something a little different - a ticket model built around access, community, and the idea that everyone deserves a seat at the table.

Every ticket - no matter the level - includes a reserved seat, the full dinner experience, and the same evening of food, drinks, and celebration. The only difference is how you choose to show up for the community that makes this event possible.

$50 — Community Ticket | A more accessible option to help make sure more people in our community can be part of the night. Same seat, same table, same great experience.
$100 — Standard Ticket | A seat at the table, supporting the Downtown you love.
The purchase of a Standard Ticket helps make Community Tickets possible and includes a tax-deductible contribution in the amount of ($50). Tax-deductible receipts will be provided after the event.
$200 — Legacy Ticket | You lead the way in making the table accessible - 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.
The purchase of a Legacy Ticket helps make Community Tickets possible and includes a tax-deductible contribution in the amount of ($150). Tax-deductible receipts will be provided after the event.

Every guest has a seat. Every guest shares the same experience. What you choose to pay simply helps make room for others at the table.

Tickets are limited and this event has historically sold out. Advance purchase is highly recommended.

Your Seat at the Table

To help create a smooth and welcoming experience for everyone, seating will be thoughtfully arranged in advance. Each guest will have an assigned seat, which also allows us to seamlessly deliver your selected entrée during dinner.

Part of the experience is sharing the table with new and familiar faces alike - bringing together the people and stories that make Downtown Springdale so special.

Attending with friends? We encourage purchasing tickets together to ensure your group is seated together. If tickets are purchased separately, you’ll still have the opportunity to note seating requests at checkout - we’ll do our best to accommodate.

Final seating details will be shared closer to the event.
