State of the Ozarks Festival

The event will be held throughout the entire street of Downing Street in Hollister from 10am to 6pm with live music throughout the day and more live music from a couple venues downtown following 7pm.  The festival will include many varying types of entertainment and shopping; including many vendors with a wide array of local artists and artisans, crafts, a lecture series on the Ozarks, street actors, cosplay characters, dancing, yoga sessions, a kids’ area, and more! This festival will be a unique festival unlike any other because of this variety in activities.
