We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Toad Suck Daze started at Toad Suck Park in 1982, then packed up and relocated to downtown Conway, where it has been held ever since. The festival named after Toad Suck literally ran away from Toad Suck. When your own party moves out to get away from you, that's not a relocation, that's an intervention.
The biggest thing in Toad Suck is a lock and dam on the Arkansas River with a Highway 60 crossing attached, so even the infrastructure is multitasking harder than the residents. When the river rises, the road floods out, which is the only time anyone has ever been forced to stay in Toad Suck.
The official legend is that steamboat crews sucked on the bottle until they swelled up like toads. That's the best origin story you've got, and it's a drinking legend about a river crossing, which tells you everything about your priorities. You named your whole community after a bender and then built a festival to celebrate it. You're so unserious that the name has outlasted every actual fact about the place.
Toad Suck Park offers a boat ramp, picnic tables, fishing, and a playground, which is the full itinerary for a Saturday night. The nightlife peaked when the steamboat crews drank themselves into folklore and has been in quiet recovery ever since. The most exciting thing within walking distance is the lock and dam, and you know it's a slow night when the infrastructure is the main attraction.
