Ice shows, adventure races, outdoor movies and spectacular theater productions await those who visit Jefferson City in 2010.  Jefferson City, once again, has put together a full lineup of special events throughout the year, many of which are free.              

Some of the newer events to be added Jefferson City's calendar are Thursday Night Live concerts on the streets of downtown, "Stars Under the Stars" Outdoor Movie Series (pictured at right), Show-Me Beer Festival and the Capital City Cookoff barbecue competition. 

The capitol grounds plays host to many events such as the Cultural Concerts in August and September and the Outdoor Movie Series in June, July and August.  A large inflatable screen set up in the shadow of the capitol dome will show movie classics "A League of Their Own", "The Wizard of Oz" and "The Little Rascals."

Jefferson City's events are perfectly suited for those with a tight budget because the majority of them are free, including long-running, annual events such as Salute to America Fourth of July Celebration, Kidsfest, Harvestfest, Oktoberfest, Governor's Mansion Candlelight Tours and Living Windows Christmas Showcase.  For specific details on all of Jefferson City's events, go to www.VisitJeffersonCity.com.
