One of the most anticipated moments of the afternoon is the Hog Walk. Coach Ryan Silverfield and the Razorback football team are expected to participate in this walk at 4:15 p.m.

The event schedule is structured as follows:

Beyond dining, the event includes a Beer Garden located next to the main stage and a Family Fun Zone. The latter will feature inflatables, a balloon artist, caricatures, and face painting to engage younger attendees.

Sponsors such as Coca-Cola, CommunityAmerica Credit Union, Crain Hyundai, the National Guard, Rudy’s BBQ, and Tito’s are providing various giveaways and swag throughout the day.

While Maple Street will be closed for the duration of the event setup, certain areas will remain accessible to motorists. On Saturday, access to Lot 300 outside the Frank Broyles Athletic Center will stay available via the east entrance on Stadium Drive and the west entrance on Razorback Road.

Traffic patterns will return to normal once the game is underway. Maple Street, from Stadium Drive to Razorback Road, is scheduled to reopen to all traffic following the conclusion of the second quarter.
