Location: Strawberry Festival at the Vaile Victorian Mansion in Independence, Missouri
Â
Date: June 2022 (specific dates TBD)

This is the festival for you if your image of summer is homemade strawberry shortcake in a garden! While it is modest and quaint, it is an excellent reason to travel south of Kansas City to explore a Victorian estate and listen to live music. You’ll also find merchants offering everything from homemade jams to craft products, many of which are themed around strawberries.

Location: SantaCaliGon Days in Independence, MO
Â
Date: September 3-6, 2021
Â
If celebrating Irish culture isn’t your thing, you can go to SantaCaliGon Days, which is located further south. This celebration honors the City of Independence as the starting place for the Santa Fe, California, and Oregon Trails—hence the muddled name.
Even though the inaugural festival was held in 1940, it has only been held 47 times since then. It has grown into a rather major annual festival, attracting 300,000 people each year.
