According to Promotions Now, a national promotions website, the largest annual music festival in Missouri is...(drum roll, please) The Scott Joplin Festival in Sedalia!

The annual festival that's held in Sedalia, provides fabulous entertainment for more than 6,000 visitors. If you like ragtime music, this is your opportunity to hear great music played by some of the top ragtime musicians in the world.

A variety of free venues are available each day of the Festival from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Whether you want to sit back and be entertained, learn a turn-of-the-century dance, or show off your own piano abilities, you’ll find the opportunities endless.
The 2016 Scott Joplin Festival has the annual festival back in the State Fair City June 1-4.
