What is The Zipper?

•  The Zipper Fest is FREE to attend!

Attending is a great way to support the creative people in our community, meet new people, and have fun.

Crafters and artists from across Missouri and beyond will have booths with affordable handmade items for purchase.

Surrounding businesses and restaurants along with food trucks will supply food and drinks.

• Connection Corners, designed by local artists, will be staged throughout the festival and provide a cozy, cool spot to interact in, talk with someone you know or someone new.

•  FREE live music and entertainment!
