Curated by Connor Tien, DougCo Social — a Douglas County local who covers Sedalia every week · Updated July 13, 2026
Sedalia is a small rural community along US-85, but it punches well above its population for events. Wide Open Saloon — the renovated Johnson's Corner truck stop — hosts live country music and community nights most weekends, including a kitchen collaboration with Riot BBQ (Michelin-recognized pitmaster Patrick Klaiber). Cherokee Ranch and Castle hosts exclusive galas and community fundraisers in a historic setting. Magpie Art Center rounds out the calendar with arts programming. For live music on the outskirts of Douglas County, Sedalia is the place.
This week in Sedalia: 90-Minute Tour of Cherokee Castle at Cherokee Ranch & Castle on Tuesday, Bike Night feat. Wild Bill at Wide Open Saloon at Wide Open Saloon on Wednesday, and Wine Tasting at the Castle: Featuring Shannon Ridge Family of Wines at Cherokee Ranch & Castle on Wednesday. Full list below.
Where it happens: Sedalia's events are anchored by two very distinct venues. Wide Open Saloon (live country music, Riot BBQ kitchen, and weekend shows), Cherokee Ranch & Castle (historic castle venue for galas and fundraisers).
What you'll find: Sedalia's calendar is dominated by live music at Wide Open Saloon and special-event programming at Cherokee Ranch. Thursday line dancing, Sinatra tribute shows, and acoustic sets make up the weekly rotation at Wide Open. Cherokee Ranch hosts fewer events but they're typically high-profile galas and community fundraisers. Browse by category: Music & Concerts, Community, Arts & Culture.
