The NWA Community Showcase presented by Pepsico is RLC’s free Downtown Rogers event celebrating our inclusive and welcoming community with fun, multicultural experiences for all ages:

• Entertainment: Enjoy singing, dancing and artistical performances throughout the day on Butterfield Stage.

• Arts & Culture: Explore exhibits by Art on the Bricks artists, live art demonstrations, free caricatures, make-your-own art station, face painting, photo booth selfies, temporary tattoos, and other fun, family activities.

• Foodie Adventure: Taste a variety of delicious cultural foods, free non-alcoholic drinks, and snacks from PepsiCo, restaurant sampling, and the popular Battle of the Chefs competition.

• Outdoor Fun: Discover the new Playard for kids at Railyard Park, family games like the Corn Hole Toss, and the inaugural Kids & Pets Parade with fun awards, prizes, and giveaways for participants.

• Marketplace: Get to know new places to shop by meeting our community’s diverse group of small businesses and entrepreneurs.
  They’ll be exhibiting their products and services in fun ways including games and giveaways. Show your support by shopping local - #shopnwa.

Why it’s important: Our community is vibrant, diverse, and cohesive.

• We created the Showcase to bring us together in celebration and support
  of cultural traditions encouraging a sense of belonging.

Small business people and entrepreneurs are key drivers of our economic success. They need opportunities to connect with the community in a platform that helps them:

• Business-to-Community: Make new connections within the community and reach potential customers in a fun environment.

• Business-to-Business: Market their business and build professional relationships with other exhibitors (businesses/organizations).

How to Participate:  Show your support for the community through sponsorship or by exhibiting in the Marketplace with a fun, interactive experience. Get signed up for the Kids & Pets Parade, a family-friendly and safe way to enjoy Saturday in Railyard Park.

• Attend with your family, friends and festies
  – it’s free, open to the community, and no tickets required!

• Invest in a sponsorship level to demonstrate your company’s commitment to building business and community together.

• Reserve your exhibit booth space while supplies last to build awareness in the community of your brand, products, and services.
