NWA Startup Crawl to bring innovation and fun to Fayetteville

The sixth annual NWA Startup Crawl will light up downtown Fayetteville on October 4. Presented by Startup Junkie and sponsored by Engine & Dozier Capital, the event promises a dynamic evening of innovation, live entertainment, food and craft beer.

“This is the largest startup event in the Heartland,” said Caleb Talley, executive director. “We want everyone to come and join us for an exciting evening where you can meet the founders of exciting startups, connect with innovative thinkers, and help us celebrate the people who make our entrepreneurial ecosystem so great. And of course enjoy local craft beer, good food and live music.

Beginning at 5:00 p.m. for general admission, attendees can check in at Fayetteville Square. VIP ticket holders gain early access to the festival, during which you will be able to buy beer from 12 local breweries and stops at 10 startup locations. Visitors who complete the crawl can earn a souvenir T-shirt and win Apple AirPods Max headphones.
