Ozark Heritage Festival Preview

Attendees can expect music, storytelling, artisans’ demonstrations and other activities represented at this “mini” festival which is a preview of a larger annual event held in downtown West Plains to celebrate Ozarks culture.

The lineup for music will be the Shortleaf Band at 1:00 p.m., Duane Porterfield at 2:30 p.m., The Ozark Hellbenders at 4:00 p.m., and Hogmolly at 5:30 p.m. With the performers scheduled, there will be music playing all throughout the festival preview.

The Ozark Heritage Festival is the signature event for West Plains. The festival seeks to celebrate, preserve, pass on and nurture an appreciation of the old-time music and folk life traditions distinctive to the Ozark Highlands. Admission to all festival events is free.
