The Historic Hannibal Marketing Council is gearin’ up for a fine festival season in Historic Downtown Hannibal. We’re kickin’ things off right with the Twain on Main Festival on Memorial Day Weekend 2023

The Twain on Main Festival is an outdoor, arts, crafts, food, and entertainment Western Themed Festival. The Theme is “COWBOY UP”, based on Mark Twain’s Roughin’ It, and we already have our friends Professor Farquar,  The Missouri Wild Bunch (civil war re-enactment) along with Osage Nation and several other entertainers to return. This festival is free to the public to visit.

Festival-goers are strongly-encouraged to dress in western attire, but it is not required. Pull out those cowboy boots and cowboy hats! Costume suggestions and links can be found here. The Festival and entertainment are free and great for families. There may be a small charge for some of the rides and activities.

All Day:

-Arts and Craft Festival

-Great Food and Drink, featuring western themed fare

As in year’s past, those attending the festival will find booths of arts, craft, and music stretching up and down Main Street from Broadway to the Tom & Huck statue. Over a hundred vendor spaces have been made available this year. Enjoy a wide variety of the many wonderful food vendors to enjoy during your festival experience, and this year, adults may also partake of locally-produced wines and specialty craft beers in the Wine & Beer Garden.
