In the past nine years Boomtown Days has grown immensely bringing with it new ideas and new opportunities for community involvement. Originally created as the Festival of the Four States, Boomtown Days quickly outgrew its humble beginnings as a Main Street festival that focused on the Arts in Joplin and the surrounding areas. New ideas to expand the Festival and new interest in sponsorship, volunteerism, planning and support led the Festival to its current home in Historic Landreth Park where it continues to grow and evolve each year.
Though the name and location of the Festival have changed, the primary goals remains the same: to create one of the premier festival events in the Midwest region by providing fun, family entertainment that will appeal to all ages and to continue to celebrate our community and the surrounding area.
Each year, the Steering Committee, comprised of area volunteers spend the year planning this three day Festival filled with music, entertainment, kid’s activities, contests, food, fun and more! Nearly 25 local business leaders volunteer their time to sit on the Steering Committee and work tirelessly alongside additional volunteers behind the scenes to ensure the success of this event.
The sale of Festival passes along with local sponsorships and extensive support from the Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce, the City of Joplin and the Joplin Convention and Visitors Bureau aide in the funding and development of the Festival. Continued support of the Festival by area business and volunteers is vital to the success of Boomtown Days. If you are interested in getting involved please click on the “Get Involved” button.
