The 2017 Tontitown Grape Festival began Tuesday evening and runs through Saturday, Aug. 5 on Henri De Tonti Boulevard (U.S. 412).
The annual event returns for its 119th season this year and includes carnival rides, an arts and crafts fair, a 5K walk/run, and free live music.
This year’s music lineup includes performances by Ashley McBryde, Deana Carter, The Williamsons and more.
Also returning this year are festival traditions like spaghetti dinners, a grape stomp, grape ice cream, and the annual crowning of the Queen Concordia.
Entry into the festival grounds is free, but some activities require a fee.
Spaghetti dinners ($12 for adults, $6 for children) will be served from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.
