Over 250 vendors of handmade crafts and direct sales items in set up in Drake Harbor, the Community Building, and on Main Street for the weekend of Heritage Days in Warsaw, Missouri.

Drake Harbor is just one of the venues for Heritage Days.

 

The Warsaw Chamber of Commerce provides golf carts to shuttle guests to and from Drake Harbor, so it’s easy to leave the festival loaded down with goodies.

The food vendors include “The Gator Wagon”, “Walking Tacos”, all your traditional fair food like corn dogs and cotton candy, and this year we added an egg roll vendor, sweets and treats and bratwursts.

Delicious food awaits in the Heritage Days food court.

 

There is also a direct sales section of Heritage Days, where you can find anything from Avon to Tupperware, clothing and accessories, and hunting and fishing gear.

The Community Building that overlooks Drake Harbor is also full of handmade crafts. Come and enjoy the day with us, you won’t be disappointed!

The two big tents in Drake Harbor are a favorite with both vendors and attendees.

Tents are protected from the weather. This year the vendor spaces were also enlarged.

 

The lawn vendors return year after year, selling a huge variety of handmade goods.

You can find everything from fresh fudge to tie-dye to lawn art in the lawn section of Heritage Days.

 

In 2022 we had so many vendor applications come in that we couldn’t fit them all in the traditional venues of Heritage Days.  So we closed down Main Street and added booth spaces alongside existing businesses.

In 2022 The Warsaw Chamber added music to the venue with “The Crawford Crew” playing bluegrass music in the Drake Harbor amphitheater.

The Warsaw Chamber of Commerce would like to thank all the volunteers that come out and help.  Golf cart drivers, tent captains, and general helpers, we couldn’t do this without you!
