SantaCaliGon Days is a beloved annual festival in Independence, Missouri, celebrating the city's historic connection to the Santa Fe, California, and Oregon Trails. Held each Labor Day weekend around the Historic Independence Square, the event brings the community together with live entertainment, carnival rides, artisan and craft vendors, delicious festival food, and family-friendly activities. What began as a tribute to Independence's role in America's westward expansion has grown into one of the region's largest and longest-running traditions.
