Experience
Sedalia is a very diverse place. Many know Sedalia as the State Fair City which hosts more than 400,000 visitors annually. Many others flock to Sedalia for a ragtime celebration at the Scott Joplin Ragtime Festival.
Every day can provide residents with new things to see, do, and explore. Two examples would be the beauty and history of the Katy Trail or the stunning reformation of the historic downtown district. Add a great mix of new retail shops, restaurants, and a healthy dose of Midwestern hospitality and your day trip could turn into a weekend memory.
No matter the season, Sedalia has it all. It's easy to stay up to date by bookmarking the community calendar which provides easy access to coming attractions. You may also visit the Sedalia Visitor's Bureau to learn all about our music, culture, and art venues.
