3 Reasons Why You Should Come to SugarFest

The SugarFest is approaching fast! The festival happens every year on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend closing out the summer in a sweet and fun fashion! SugarFest is an all-day festival beginning at 7:30 a.m. with the Sugar Rush 5K. If you are looking for something to do around the Lake Guntersville area, then mark your calendars for September 5, 2026! Here are three reasons why you should be at the Arab City Park getting a sugar high that weekend.

Family Fun 

The SugarFest is for everyone of all ages! There are hundreds of craft vendors that will be lined up within the park selling their unique artwork and crafts that they enjoy doing. You will find door hangers, paintings, clothing and even homemade spices for your homecooked meals. The fun doesn’t stop there though! The kids in your life will enjoy the Kids Area complete with inflatables, rock climbing wall, obstacle course and so much more.

SugarRush 5K

Get your fitness on with the annual 5K that starts off the event weekend! The course is on the easier side, so if you don’t want to run the entire thing walking is accepted. Enjoy the beauty of small town Arab as you complete the 3.1 miles and then grab your sugar fix! Register here.

Foodie’s Dream

SugarFest will have a ton of food vendors within Arab City Park on September 5. Chow down on a polish sausage if you are feeling something different. Or you can bite down on a Bacon Crack Cheddar Burger. There will be freshly squeezed lemonade to help wash down some of those delicious meals too. To satisfy your sweet tooth, enjoy a funnel cake  or a brownie.
