Old West Festival

Let me introduce you to The Old West Festival! Take a trip back in time, before the light bulb or automobile, to Dodge City 1878. It was a town run by famous lawmen like Bat Masterson and Wyatt Earp. Where gamblers such as Doc Holiday played faro, and Boothill was a place you didn’t want to be at the end of the night.

The Wild West comes to life every spring at The Old West Festival. The Old West Festival will be an Old West themed festival that will be run similarly to other Wild West Festivals and Renaissance Festivals around the United States. It will be a permanent town built to celebrate the rich 19th century history of the Old West.

The Old West Festival will be fun for the entire family and history buffs alike. Patrons will be entertained by shopping at a variety of antique, western, and craft vendors. They will chow down on great food & drink, enjoy good music, and applaud the jaw-dropping gunfights. Men and women can run off to the Long Branch Saloon to partake in a cold beer or sasperilla. Later that afternoon adults and children can enjoy a variety show that will be historically accurate as well as amusing. The kids will be thoroughly entertained with pony rides, panning for gold or a short trip on the “Sante Fe Deadline” locomotive. A multitude of musical acts throughout the town will entertain patrons during the day. A trip to The Old West Festival on a warm spring day provides children of all ages a chance to relive a legendary time in history. There will be a little something for everyone. So prepare for a trip back in time at The Old West Festival, where the Old West will come to life before your very eyes.
