September Is The Biggest Month Of Cultural Festivals In The Ozarks
Springfield, MO—According to the Springfield CVB, our beloved city of Springfield, MO is a home to over 7,500 diverse people from around the world. That’s enough to pack out Hammons Field!
CultureFest, a new event planned for Springfield will be held on Sept. 14, 2019, on Commercial Street at the Farmers Market on Commercial Street.
CultureFest promises to bring together and celebrate the different cultures and ethnicities of those who live in Springfield, MO. Saehee Duran describes it as an event for “all nations and generations.” Duran is a lead pastor at Life360 Intercultural Campus and the Springfield Police chaplain.
This will be the very first city-wide CultureFest. The goal, Saehee says, is to showcase rich ethnic diversity through local restaurants, businesses, organizations and talents, so that locals can experience the world right in the backyard.
Duran says she hopes this event will positively change the narrative of ethnic diversity in Springfield.

The twelveth annual Greek Festival, a traditional family-oriented celebration, will be held Friday through Sunday, September 6 -8 on the parking lot of St. Thomas the Apostle Orthodox Church, 4200 S. Holiday Avenue. Festival hours are 5 to 10 p.m. on Friday, noon to 10 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 3 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is free with plenty of free parking.
Spokesperson Jeanne Duffey says “it’s more like a party than a ‘festival’… We get a lot of repeat customers and visitors, so we add a lot of new things each year.”
Greek food is, of course, the event’s most popular draws each year. Other features of the festival include alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages, including a new Greek wine-tasting bar; a bounce house for the kids (Duffey jokes that they were “trying to find a Parthenon bounce house” but that didn’t work out!); Greek memorabilia and silent-auction items donated by local vendors; and brief but entertaining talks about the Orthodox faith by the church pastor, Father Andrew Moore. They’ve also produced a new visual backdrop for the popular “Greek For a Day” photo-op booth. “That’s highly popular,” says Jeanne Duffey. “We have costumes that (people) can drape around them.”
It wouldn’t be a Greek festival, though, without Greek music and dancing. Festival goers are invited to join in the native dances of Greece, featuring the rhythms of traditional music from the Greek mainland and the islands. For information visit www.facebook.com/opagreekfest/, or call 841-8586.
