There is no advanced registration, and spots are on a first come first served basis.

The Joplin Hamfest Committee has had some challenges thrown our way this year but we are working through them. The first is the COVID-19 issue and the fact that the majority of hamfest attendees are of the high risk category. We want to accommodate everyone and still apply the CDC Guidelines and practices for the safety of the attendees. One way we are attempting to do this is to hold the hamfest on one day only and have it as a tailgate type of event.

The parking spaces will be $5.00 each (This is a double space end to end) and attendees cost is FREE. We hope this will allow more social distancing by being outdoors.
