A tradition featuring local beers and businesses will return to downtown Fayetteville this weekend.
Startup Junkie officials announced this winter they’d be bringing their annual Startup Crawl back to Fayetteville on Saturday, April 8, and this week, the lineup of businesses and breweries featured at this year’s event was announced.
This year’s event will kick off at 5 p.m. on the square where passports, pint glasses, and wristbands will be distributed at check-in stations located on East Avenue to those who’ve already purchased their tickets. Those who don’t have tickets yet can purchase them at the check in stations as well.
From there, crawlers can stop by the 10 local businesses along the crawl and enjoy a craft brew at any or each stop along the way. Stops include Big Box Karaoke, Startup Junkie, Zenwork, SharpHue, Brewer Family Entrepreneurship Hub, AcreTrader, Bearded Goat, Encore Bank, the Arkansas Small Business and Technology Development Center (ASBTDC) + Startup Village, and an Entrepreneurial Resource Stop at the Fayetteville Town Center Plaza.
In addition to the brews, stages will be set up on East Avenue and Block Avenue with live music by The 1 oz. Jig, JukeBoxx, Thrifty Biscuits, and Akeem Kemp.
Advance tickets are $30, and include access to the the passports, pint glasses, brews, and music. Day-of event tickets go up to $35.
