Plan A Day Out At Pioneer Heritage Festival Of The Ozarks In Missouri, The Coolest Heritage Festival In The State

October’s shaping up to be a really fun month in Missouri. From traditional Halloween celebrations to fall festivals, the month promises an abundance of fun. Carve out time, especially if you’re a fan of the past, for a visit to the Pioneer Heritage Festival of the Ozarks in Missouri, an epic two-day, family-friendly event.

The Fourth Annual Pioneer Heritage Festival of the Ozarks returns on October 1-2, 2021 at the Foxtrotters Showgrounds and World Headquarters in Ava. Hours run from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on both days.

Featuring a full menu of activities, the festival offers free admission. However, guests are welcome to leave a donation at the gate. (The suggested donation is $5 for each adult.)

Stroll back through the pages of time as you explore the festival grounds, where you'll come across an assortment of demonstrations.

Get a peek at how candles and soap are made; watch as brooms are made from scratch, and learn how to spin fiber.

The festival offers an inspiring glimpse at how the pioneers lived long before modern conveniences. You can even learn about the canning process, so you can save money while preserving your own food.

All of the festival's participants are volunteers. More volunteers are always welcome, especially if you have a special skill you want to share.

During its two-day run, the festival will feature an assorment of good food *and* lively entertainment.

Gather around the Music Stage for performances by the Red Bridge Band, the Brixey Creek Trio, and the Ozark Thunder Cloggers.
