About the event

Each year during the first weekend in May, people gather in the streets of downtown Conway for Toad Suck Daze. The free-admission, family festival has something for all ages: local and national musical entertainment, retail vendors and arts and crafts booths, carnival rides, children’s activities, and of course, the World Championship Toad Races starring our amphibious friends.

About the application

Be a part of Arkansas's favorite family festival by volunteering! Volunteers help to facilitate activities in the Tinkerfest area or wrangle toad in the Toad Dome, and even help with set-up of the festival. We have a place just for you! All volunteer opportunities are listed below in date/time order. Volunteer shifts are open to anyone 15 or older. If you are under 15, you can still volunteer, but you need to have an adult with you. All volunteers receive a festival volunteer t-shirt. All volunteers will check-in at the volunteer check-in booth (located in Toad Square) before reporting to their volunteer location. We look forward to an amazing 2026 Toad Suck Daze, and seeing you there!
