Hootin an Hollarin Celebrating and Remembering the Past times in the Ozark Hills. Hootin an Hollarin is always fun for the young and the young at heart.

Hootin an Hollarin started it's long and illustrious history in 1961, when a bunch of local folks decided that if they didn't start paying attention to the heritage of the Ozarks, it was going to slip away down memory lane. Since that beginning, Hootin an Hollarin has had a special focus on old time ways and celebrating with family and friends. The court square at Gainesville, Missouri becomes home to the three day event each September, starting the third Thursday of the month. The traditional demonstrations of crafts and pioneer ways, parades, queens, music and dancing continues today. Over the years, other events have been added to the festival schedule and are quickly becoming known as part of the tradition, like pet shows, bed races and outhouse racing.
