World Cheese Dip Championship & Foam Fest Craft Beer Festival - 2025

The World Cheese Dip Championship and the former Foam Fest Craft Beer Festival have joined forces to bring the best event in central Arkansas! If there’s one thing you need to know about Little Rock, it’s that we take cheese dip very seriously. We love to tell folks that cheese dip was invented in the area all the way back in 1935, and you’ll find dozens of versions of the creamy goodness on restaurant menus across town.

Held annually each fall, The World Cheese Dip Championship attracts entrants from across the state and around the county as they battle it out to be the judges’ favorite. 2025 will be a change for us holding the event in June! Each attendee can cast a vote for their favorite.
This outdoor event takes advantage of Little Rock’s early summer weather and is one of the city’s hallmark events. For first-time visitors, locals recommend bringing along a muffin tin to hold all your cheese dip samples (trust us, it really makes a difference!).

Foam Fest, Arkansas' original craft beer festival is a creative twist to the traditional wine tasting event and is a beer sampling event offering samples of hundreds of varieties of craft beer, cider, and libations from around the world.

All general admissions include a souvenir cup (over 21), unlimited food, and unlimited drinks. DD admissions include unlimited food and non-alcoholic beverages. Vendors, performers, and musicians round out the event, making it one of the most fun and delicious days in all of Arkansas.

Dickey-Stephens has a clear bag policy for all guests at the ballpark.
