Paradise Creek  Festival & Rodeo

June 10–11, 2022 Plainville, Kansas

It started with the rodeo, and the sleepy creek which fills our lake. What grew out of it was a weekend of small-town fun in rural America. We are excited to be back after 2020, and we hope we have something for everyone!

Co-Events

These concurrent events require pre-registration, and are hosted by and benefit the Prairie Frontier Trails Association.

Trail Hike

Friday evening, take a guided hike along the proposed trail expansion at Plainville Township Lake, and be back in time to take in Mutton Busting at the rodeo.

Bike Ride

10-mile, 25-mile, and 48-mile loops of supported recreational gravel grinding while you family enjoys the Festival. Shower and take in Saturday evening’s rodeo!

Bicycle Rodeo

Three-possible competitive skill challenges for young cyclists, Saturday afternoon. A limited number of loaner bikes and helmets are available from sponsor Bret’s Bike.

Where to Eat

Come early, stay late. Food trucks will be available downtown, and there’s food at the rodeo. Plus our fine local establishments.

Where to Stay

You’ve already driven to get here – why not lay your head to rest before driving back?

Where to Shop

Entrepreneurship is alive and well in our cozy town. Many shops have special Festival hours for your convenience.
