Event Details

The Weekend in Springfield is where celebration meets connection.

Bringing together the Golden Fork Awards and the Springfield Golf Tournament, this two-day experience honors the people who define hospitality in Southwest Missouri and the relationships that keep the industry moving forward.

The Golden Fork Awards dinner will set the tone for Sunday evening's celebration, honoring excellence in Springfield's restaurant community. Nominations are NOW OPEN! CLICK HERE to cast your vote for your favorite BARTENDER, CHEF, MANAGER, or SERVER!

Monday is dedicated to golf, which shifts the energy to the course, creating space for meaningful conversations, new connections, and, of course, a little friendly competition. 

It's just a full weekend of things to do; it's a moment for the industry to come together, be recognized, and remember the impact it continues to make. Whether you're golfing, sponsoring, or just showing up for the weekend, this is where the industry comes together and has fun!
