April 16, 2017 - Annual Alma Spinach Festival - Alma, Arkansas
THE YEAR WITHOUT A SPINACH FEST.  After careful consideration, we have decided to not hold a Spinach Fest in 2017.  You have told us that you want us to move the festival back downtown, and we have listened.  However, with all of the construction that will be happening on Main Street this Spring, we will not be able to put on a high quality or safe festival.  We plan to come back in 2018 to debut our new Main Street and to put on an awesome event for you.  Thank you for your understanding.
