Get Ready for The 15th Annual Wagons for Warriors 2026! – Friday, May 22nd & Saturday May 23rd, 2026 – Wagons for Warriors is currently the largest gathering of chuck wagons in the United States, which also makes it the largest in the World. This event’s proceeds benefit local military men and women and veterans in need.
Each year more than 30 chuck wagons and their crews from around Missouri and other parts of the United States come to Lebanon to cook and serve authentic Western cuisine. Visitors get the chance to eat the way cowboys did when the wagons were a vital part of daily life.
It’s a $20 per person donation. This allows you to get food sample from each chuck wagon. (Ages 5 and under free). Live auction of some great donated items! Event starts at 10 AM on Saturday with Lunch being served at Noon. Come on out and watch a reenactment of a live gun fight. Don’t miss out on the fun!!!
This year is going to be an event to remember! We hope to see you there for the parade on Friday, May 22nd at 11:00am, Saturday the 23rd for food friendship and fun and then Sunday, May 24th for Cowboy Church at The Wagons at 9:00am.
