The SugarFest

The SugarFest Life is sweeter at The SugarFest! Join us on September 5, 2026 for food, fun, and fireworks! Recently, a group a citizens decided to change that. SugarFest!

The Making of SugarFest
Years ago the City of Arab had a fireworks show hosted by a local citizen. But, alas, there have been no fireworks lighting the sky above Arab for many, many years. But before they knew it, other ideas for the community were being thrown out left & right: an Arts & Crafts Show, a Kid’s Area, Food Trucks, a Carnival, a 5k Race, live music until the fireworks show had grown

into a one day community festival! But what to call it? Is it a music festival? An Arts & Crafts Show? What will it grow to be? What is the one thing those all have in common? It’s in the South and life is sweeter in the South, right sugar? And there it was! Taking place annually on the Saturday of Labor Day at Arab City Park, we hope you will make plans to attend!

Dear Community Members, Vendors, Sponsors, and Volunteers

It is with mixed emotions that we announce the cancellation of the 2025 SugarFest, which was originally scheduled for August 30th. As many of you know, SugarFest is a cherished tradition for our small town of Arab, bringing together families, friends, and neighbors for a day of celebration and fun. We look forward to this event every year, and we know you do as well.

However, due to an exciting new development in our community, we are unfortunately unable to hold SugarFest this year. The city has recently approved the construction of a new Recreation Center, which will begin before our planned festival date. While we are sad to see SugarFest go uncelebrated this year, we are thrilled about the opportunities the new Rec center will bring to our town. This facility will be a hub for future community events, recreation, and growth, something we can all look forward to in the years to come.

We appreciate your understanding as we make way for this important development, and we are optimistic about the positive impact this new center will have on Arab’s future. We look forward to welcoming you all back to a bigger, better SugarFest in 2026, with new spaces and opportunities to gather and celebrate together.

Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm. Please stay tuned for more updates as we continue to work towards building a brighter future for our community.

Warm regards,

Eric, Shane, Tabitha, Brittany, and Chantz SugarFest Board of Directors
