The Historic Arkansas Museum’s 21st Candlelight Gala takes place from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday.

Attendees will “celebrate Arkansas foodways – the intersection of food in the culture and tradition of Arkansas – from the Delta to the foothills of the Ozarks,” according to an event description. The event kicks off the museum’s yearlong celebration of Arkansas’ food heritage.

To go along with the event’s focus on the Arkansas Food Hall of Fame, a short film about this year’s inductees to the Department of Arkansas Heritage Arkansas Food Hall of Fame will be shown. Attendees can expect food, drinks, music and auction items that reflect our state. Arkansas Made arts and crafts will be among the auction items.

2017 Diamond Chef Mary Beth Ringgold of Little Rock’s Copper Grill will provide “a delicious heritage meal” and the 2017 Food Hall of Fame winners will also be in attendance. Winners include Jones Bar-B-Q Diner in Marianna, Lassis Inn in Little Rock and Rhoda’s Famous Hot Tamales in Lake Village.
