We’ve seen a significant increase in the number of attendees from all over the US. at our two International and Regional award-winning signature festivals, adding another one to our calendar just makes it even more exciting and another wonderful opportunity to market our great city of Oak Grove.”

We were so fortunate to have Oak Grove Racing, Gaming and Hotel built in our small but mighty city. Our visitors’ impact has skyrocketed. I won’t forget to mention that we are the hometown of Ft.
