| Started in the late 1960's
as a marching band competition, the annual Maple Leaf
Festival received its name thanks to Mother Nature.
Every year, surrounded by an array of glorious fall
colors, the city of Carthage proudly welcomes 80,000+
visitors to this wonderful fall celebration.
Every year, on the third Saturday of October, the
biggest day of the festival begins with the largest
parade in Southwest Missouri. This keystone event begins
at 9 a.m. and ends around noon. The parade route begins
on the Carthage Historic Square and ends at the Carthage
Middle School.
