Grab your friends and family and slide into first base this weekend at the Mountain Grove Heritage Festival in the city square in Mountain Grove August 8th-9th. This year’s theme is ‘Take Me Out to the Ballgame’ and celebrates the area’s baseball and softball heritage.
Attendees can expect over 175 vendors, food trucks, displays of baseball memorabilia, a dunking booth, trading card collectors, batting and pitching cages, bounce houses, and more.
“It’s one of the biggest festivals in the town and it brings in a lot of people- anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 just on the weekend,” event coordinator Onna Bushong says. “It’s really beneficial for our town.”
