36th Year!!

The Roots Festival is a 2-day family friendly event held in the beautiful downtown Paola, KS Park Square. We are pleased to have provided a fun and entertaining event for our community over the years! Last year’s festival highlights include a wide variety of amazing live music featuring National, Regional and Local Artist’s. Other great festival attractions include arts & crafts, food vendors, The East Central State BBQ Championship Cook-off and for our younger festival goers, great games and fun rides!
