oldwestfestival's photostream

Scenes of the old west will be retold in live action as visitors will step back in history into an authentic Dodge City Wild West town. It will be educational and fun for the entire family. Store fronts will include a pool hall, dance hall, photo emporium, old fashioned candy store and more. Men and women can run off to the Long Branch Saloon to partake in a cold beer or sarsaparilla. Kids will enjoy panning for gold, traveling the frontier in covered wagons, on ponies or horses, riding the 19th century steam locomotive inspired Sante Fe Deadline, participating in old time games, or visiting the pioneer village. Historically accurate shows will include medicine, saloon, magic, storytelling, melodrama, family sing-a-longs and cancan dancers. Country, bluegrass and period musicians will be on stage throughout the day. There will even be authentic jaw dropping gun fight reenactments daily.
