About Wild West Festival
Welcome to the official venue page for the Wild West Festival, a beloved outdoor city festival held each year in Hays, Kansas. Spanning Downtown Hays (Main Street) and Municipal Park, this event brings live performances, a Main Street Parade, and July 4th fireworks to the heart of the city. The main stage is located at 100 Main Street, with activities centered around Downtown Hays and the surrounding park spaces. We’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby lodging and dining options to help you secure your tickets and plan a smooth visit.
Venue status: The festival continues to take place on Main Street and in Municipal Park, with no public indication of venue demolition or renaming. If you’re planning for 2026, mark July 1–4 for a classic Kansas summer of music, community, and celebration.
Seating generally includes VIP with reserved seating and General Admission on a first-come, first-served basis near the main stage. While a published seating map isn’t available, you can expect clear access paths to the stage areas and organized VIP perks. Parking details are often shared with sponsors and event updates; VIP parking is sometimes offered as a sponsorship perk at an approximate rate of the best available price in nearby Main Street areas. For attendees, consider nearby lodging in downtown Hays to stay within walking distance of events, dining, and the parade route. We recommend confirming parking and transportation options closer to your visit date, especially for the Fourth of July fireworks and peak event times.
