About the Festival 

The Heartland Lifestyle Festival is a two-day celebration in mid-Missouri dedicated to cultivating health, wellness, sustainability, and meaningful community connection. Our mission is to bring together educators, speakers, musicians, artisans, local businesses, and resource providers to inspire balanced living and strengthen the heart of our region.

We believe that a thriving community begins with access—to knowledge, to local resources, to nourishing food, to sustainable practices, and to one another. Through engaging workshops, live music, interactive demonstrations, thoughtfully curated vendors, and a vibrant beverage garden featuring local breweries, cider companies, and distilleries, we create an inclusive space where individuals and families can explore, learn, and grow.

Heartland Lifestyle Festival exists to celebrate the richness of mid-Missouri—its people, its makers, its farmers, and its entrepreneurs—while encouraging practical pathways toward healthier lifestyles and a more sustainable future.

Join us as we gather to connect, collaborate, and cultivate a stronger, more vibrant heartland.
