Performers, scheduling and pricing information for Main Street events will be announced in February.

In previous years, the city’s Cowboy Festival has featured performers such as Hot Club of Cowtown, Don Edwards James Intveld and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott. Performers specialize in western genres such as Bluegrass, Folk and Country music.

Thousands have attended the festival year after year, according to event organizers.

In 2015, Heritage Junction was transformed into a battleground comprised of civil war reenactors, where guests were able to relive battles from the perspective of both the North and Confederate sides.

Archery ranges, quick-draw laser tag, mechanical bulls and much more have all been offered in recent Cowboy Festivals. Activities aim to have something for people of all ages, organizers said.
