While the summer heat is still strong, a little relief is in sight with the Branson Tri-Lakes area’s first fall festival of the year arriving in only weeks.
The StateoftheOzarks Festival will celebrate its seventh year on historic Downing Street in Hollister on Saturday, Sept. 16. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. StateoftheOzarks Founder and Editor Joshua Heston told the Branson Tri-Lakes News he is excited for this year’s festival.
“It is the seventh year. It’s hard to believe I’ve been doing this for seven years now,” Heston said. “We’re a month out and I am ahead of schedule, which is huge. I won’t actually let myself relax until Sept.17, but I am cautiously optimistic and excited.”
