Be a place-maker in the economic and cultural development landscape of downtown Bentonville, while creating the social fabric that makes Bentonville so unique, welcoming, and one of the best places to live, work, and play.

Downtown Bentonville today barely resembles the Downtown Bentonville of yesterday. What was once was a virtual ghost town has been reinvested as a vibrant, bustling, world-class destination. We were created to bring Bentonville to life – to make the downtown region a place people wanted to visit. 

Throughout the more than 15 years in existence, DBI has been a leader in bringing the community together to celebrate what makes Bentonville so special and unique. Through the seamless executive of events, DBI has introduced food, music, and culture to a community on the cutting edge of social and economic change.

We want everyone to feel safe and comfortable when visiting downtown Bentonville. So, on behalf of everyone at DBI, welcome home!

In order to do what we do, we rely on sponsorships, grants and personal contributions. Maybe you're a vendor that wants to garner attention? Consider sponsoring one of our events! It's a great way to get recognized. Heck, we can even work with you to bring something new and refreshing to town. Or, maybe you're a member of our community and love attending the markets and First Fridays. It's easy to give $25, $50, $100 or more to help the cause. Every contribution helps – they add up fast and we'll love you for it. If you like what we do, please consider it.
