Arlington celebrates America's independence each year with a picnic in the park sponsored by the Arlington Chapter of the Association for the Preservation of Tennessee Antiquities (APTA).  The annual event features a baking contest, wagon parade, and "Most Patriotic Family" contest.

The Arlington Barbecue Burnout is a Memphis in May sanctioned barbecue cooking contest that is held in the fall each year. The Barbecue Burnout is presented by the Arlington Chamber of Commerce and features live entertainment, activities for families and children, a variety of vendors and concessions, and much more.

Each year, Arlington celebrates the holiday season with its annual Christmas parade and tree lighting ceremony in historic Depot Square.  The Christmas Parade is a wonderful small town tradition, featuring floats, marching bands, performance groups and a lot of good old-fashioned holiday spirit.
