The countdown is on—O’Fallon’s Heritage & Freedom Fest is just one month away! This four-day, family-friendly festival welcomes everyone to the Ozzie Smith Sports Complex from July 1–4, 2026. Guests can enjoy exciting carnival rides, delicious fair food, free entertainment, live music, and plenty of patriotic fun throughout the weekend. Admission is free, and unlimited carnival ride wristbands are available for purchase online in advance or at the event. Free parking, shuttle service, premium parking, and ADA parking options make it easy for everyone to join the celebration.

This year’s festival features an incredible entertainment lineup, including country favorites LOCASH and Lauren Alaina on July 3 and legendary rock band KANSAS on July 4. Both concert nights will end with spectacular fireworks displays lighting up the night sky. Looking for carnival fun? July 1 kicks off the festivities with Carnival Kick-off Night, while July 2 is Family Night, offering all the excitement of the carnival with a smaller crowd. Plus, don’t miss our annual Heritage & Freedom Fest Parade on July 4.
