Concerts & Events

The 2025 Scott Joplin International Ragtime Festival offers an exciting lineup of concerts and special events that celebrate the rich legacy of ragtime music and its enduring influence. From lively outdoor performances and elegant evening concerts to educational symposia, historic tours, and themed experiences like “Dining with the Stars” and “The Ragtime Dance,” there’s something for everyone to enjoy. The festival brings together world-class performers, historians, and enthusiasts for a joyful celebration of syncopated rhythms, period fashion, and historic charm—all in the heart of Sedalia, Missouri, where Scott Joplin’s legacy lives on.
