“Here in this tiny town, one weekend a year, meet celebrities, noted authors, humanitarians, presidential descendants, historical luminaries from all over the world. They share with attendees their lives, their struggles and achievements, encouraging and entertaining. This most unusual place and event should be on everyone’s bucket list to attend at least once. However, once you attend, you will be drawn back to return, again and again.”

Thursday and Friday posted today, still waiting on confirmation of Saturday schedule and should post soon. All ticked events are already posted. The remainder are all free events.
Hello, I will be attending for the first time this year. What is the best opportunity to meet with the celebrity guests that attend?
Thank you!
The Nostalgia Fest Autograph Show. Look on the Friday and Saturday schedule for times. More information will be coming in the future of the show, including a flyer. There is no admission charge. Celebrities set their own prices for photos and autographs.
Which cast members of Little House will be there?
Best place to stay updated on the current attendee list is probably the Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/MOCherryBlossomFest/, or scroll through the photos on the 2025 page or main page of the website to see all confirmed guests. More are added all the time!
Hello my name is pat molloy, and I’m trying to get information for my band to be booked in the evening after the main events are over. Our band is called the forestwood boys and we do mostly 60s and 70s music, we have a Facebook page and many videos on YouTube. This is our 10th year playing out. Maybe you can give me an idea on who I can talk to. Thank you pat molloy 314 250 1306

Hello,
My family would love to see the cast of Little House and the Waltons. Do we have to buy tickets to see them and are they sold out already?
Thank you, Erin Smith
I see a few Walton Luncheon tickets available, still! There is no charge for the autograph show. The celebrities set their own prices for their autographs and photos. It costs nothing to meet them.
I am planning on traveling almost 5 hours to attend this event. The main purpose of attending is to meet Gerry Mathers. I am not sure of what to expect or if I need to purchase tickets for a meet and greet. Could you please provide more information on this?
There is no admission charge for the autograph show. The celebrities set their own prices for their photos and autographs. The Thursday and Friday schedules posted today. Hoping to have Saturday soon!
Where can I find a daily schedule on the website?
Thank you,
Gene

Do you have a calendar of events for this year’s festival? We are coming to Marshfield to see Sharon Baird. We hope to coordinate our plans with her schedules appearances because we also have business appointments in Branson. Thank you! Wishing you every success with your 2025 Festival!
Thursday and Friday posted today! Hoping to have full schedule soon!
I had a few questions I hope you can answer. What time does it start every day, and until what time? As we have our rooms booked to come there, I was also wondering where in Marshfield is it located? Is there a schedule of events? How is the parking? I sure appreciate any help you can give on this, thanks so much.
Randy, The full schedules will be posted soon along with a printable schedule which will have addresses for each event. I posted the schedule for Thursday and Friday today. Saturday should be coming soon. The major locations are the Marshfield Assembly of God, the Marshfield Community Center, the historic town square and several other locations. Looking forward to the schedule!
Is there a parade?
There is no parade scheduled this year. The two years we tried to have a parade in the past, it rained epic amounts! I think we have decided that it isn’t a good idea 🙂
Are Jerry Mathers and John Provost going to be there all weekend.
Keep eye out on Facebook page or website as more information is posted. Thursday and Friday schedules were posted today. Saturday should be coming soon.
Good Morning, i am trying to locate the schedule for when and where Richard Thomas and David Harper will be during the festival. I see the information for Kami Cotler, but only that Richard and David will be VIP guests.
The Nostalgia Fest Autograph Show poster has been posted with the information showing who will attend the autograph show on Friday and Saturday. Keep an eye out for the final printed schedule off all panels to see if they are part of a panel as well.
Hello! My great x 7 grandfather was Israel Boone. I would be interested in connecting with any other descendants of the Boone family that will be in attendance. How would I connect? Thank you!
