TOAD SUCK DAZE TOAD SUCK DAZE
A Tradition Returns
For the first time in three years, Toad Suck Daze returned to where it has always belonged: the streets of downtown Conway.
COVID-19 kept Toad Suck away from downtown since 2019, but its return was welcomed by more than 100,000 visitors in 2022. Toad Suck Daze, founded in 1982, is the largest, free-admission, family festival in Arkansas. Festivalgoers from across the region—approximately 100,000 during the three-day event—gather in the streets of downtown Conway for food-on-a-stick, local and national entertainment, arts and crafts, activities for kids, and, of course, the World Famous Toad Races.
To date, Toad Suck Daze has contributed more than $2 million to scholarships, scholarship endowments, and pre-K funding.
