This year, the 14th Annual Wagons for Warriors will be taking place May 23–24, 2025!
The Wagons for Warriors event invites attendees to “come eat & socialize like cowboys and cowgirls did,” says the Wagons for Warriors organization. At this event, more than 30 chuckwagons from around the state will travel and meet up in Lebanon, Missouri at the Laclede County Fairgrounds. Each chuck wagon will make its own western-themed dish and serve it to those attending the event, with all of the proceeds going to local veterans and military men and women.


Tickets to the event are in the form of a wristband, and can be purchased at the event for $20 per. ticket. Children ages 5 and under are given free admission. The $20 wristband includes a sample from each of the attending chuckwagons, and goes to support veterans.
Event schedule:
Friday, May 23: 11:00 AM Wagon Parade in Lebanon, beginning at the Graven Chrysler and ending back at the Laclede County Fairgrounds.
Saturday, May 24: Wild West Cowboy reenactment, Native American Indian dancers, lunch served at 12:30 PM from 30 different chuckwagons, and live auction.
Sunday, May 25: Cowboy church at 9 AM.
