The Inaugural Arkansas Pie Festival.

The very first Arkansas Pie Festival is in the books! Take a look through all the winning pies, and see some of the neat things that were part of this inaugural event in Cherokee Village.

The first Arkansas Pie Festival was held in Cherokee Village on April 20, 2019. There were more than 700 people who came out to taste pies from professional bakers, enter their own pies in the amateur contest, shop the Pie Shop, bid on the Pie Auction, participate in the pie eating contest, throw pies, enjoy live music and the perfect weather, and to see who has the best pie in Arkansas.
