Arguably, one of the best things about living in Missouri is all of the traditions. While we have our own traditions with family and friends, we also have traditions as a state. We come together at the Missouri State Fair each August, for example. Did you know there’s a longstanding festival in Independence, Missouri, that’s become an annual Labor Day weekend tradition for five decades? If it’s not on your calendar, you might want to add it.
Have you been to the SantaCaliGon Days Festival, a longstanding festival in Independence, Missouri? Will you go this year? Let us know in the comments! While you’re in the area, make sure you stop by and visit the most easily-accessible waterfall in Independence, Missouri.
