The pictures & videos from Mule Fest 2026 are available! See the link in the Main Menu or click HERE.
See below for the 2026 winners of the car & truck show, tractor show, and gift card basket raffle. Congratulations!
Since so few folks come for just dinner (only 3 of the 200+ people this past year), and since we always have plenty of food all afternoon with a lot of leftovers, we will not serve dinner in 2027. We will use that money to make a stage in our mule barn for an opening band! Next year's event will start at 10 am and end at 6 pm, with live music from 11-6!
We will not be requesting or managing RSVPs in 2027. Folks can feel comfortable knowing they can just show up that day. Invitations will be sent out in June.
A new "Parking Request" link has been added to the Main Menu for folks to request special parking at the event.
We still need people to use the "Food Sign-up" link in the Main Menu to let others know what food item they plan to bring.
Save The Date: Mule Fest 2027 is on Sat, Sep 25th, from 10-6.
We are adding a new band stage in 2027 just inside the entrance to our mule barn. It will have the same anti fatigue tile flooring we use for our main stage. This will allow our headliner band to setup while the opening band is playing. The band Rosewood will play on the mule barn stage in 2027 from 11-2.

We are excited to announce the super talented band Rosewood will be playing on our new Mule Barn stage from 11-2 in 2027.
All four members sing very well and their harmonies together are incredible. They'll play very popular songs from the 60s and later, covering the genres of country rock, soft rock and americana.
Everyone at Mule Fest will love them!

For those folks who have wanted a country band here, we are excited to announce that the fabulous 6 piece Russo & Co. country rock band will headline here in 2027 from 2-6. They were voted best original band by St. Louis magazine the last 3 years in a row (2024, 2025 & 2026)! They play their own great songs plus great covers of well known country & rock hits. Their first album "State Of Misery" was released early this year and is streaming everywhere. Click HERE for a sample. Enjoy!
New for 2027, we are going to have two Karaoke sessions! Be thinking of the song(s) you would like to sing. To sign-up to sing, see the "Karaoke Sign-up" link in the Main Menu. We'll also pass around white boards at the event for folks to sign-up.

Our event is held every year in the Fall on the 4th Saturday of September.

The Magic of Joshua has become a Mule Fest tradition. From his strolling magic ... to his balloon animals for kids ... to his balloon hats for adults, Joshua has become a crowd favorite.
