Visit Springfield, Missouri

It was a beary happy Thanksgiving ???? at Dickerson Park Zoo - Springfield, MO. Around Thanskgiving, Dickerson Park Zoo puts together a feast for the bears before they go into torpor. Lucy Atwood made them a special Visit Springfield, Missouri box with treats inside that they loved! You heard it first: Bears love Visit Springfield, Missouri! ????

Our very own Megan Buchbinder was on KY3 Inc. (KYTV) talking about our new Visit Springfield, Missouri brand! Learn a little bit more about the process and what we're all about!

A lot happened with our new Visit Springfield, Missouri brand over the weekend. Let's do a recap! On Friday, we officially rebranded as Visit Springfield, Missouri and got some amazing support all over town from businesses, partners and media alike. We loved seeing Springfield come together to show us support. If you attended The Mayor's Tree Lighting on Saturday, Nov. 23, we had even more surprises! We helped coordinate the first ever drone show at the Mayor's Tree Lighting showcasing lots of amazing elements of our city we call home. Thank you so much to everyone who is supporting our new look and continuing to believe in our mission of bringing people to our city!

The Springfield Convention & Visitors Bureau is now Visit Springfield, Missouri. To the visitor, Visit Springfield, Missouri is the ultimate guide to everything Springfield and the Ozarks. But to our community, we have a much more meaningful role: driving economic activity to our city through tourism. Bringing new visitors into our community to eat at our restaurants, experience our attractions, and stay in our hotels enhances our economic vitality as a city and is an integral part of Springfield's growth. We are the official destination marketing organization that brings visitors to our region and serves as the go-to resource for locals. From showcasing all the things that make southwest Missouri a hidden gem and developing creative marketing that puts Springfield on the map, to promoting our city as a top-tier destination for meetings and events, we’re a part of it all.

Coming Soon! We have a special reveal coming soon on Nov. 22 that you won't want to miss. Here's a preview of what you can expect!

It’s been a busy couple of days for the Springfield, Missouri, Convention & Visitors Bureau. The team launched the new season of the Ozarks Coffee Trail with secret menu items! The marketing team visited local media to talk about the new trail. They also hid cups and t-shirts all around Springfield so locals could participate in a coffee trail scavenger hunt to pick up some new swag.
