Crawford County - Pittsburg

A central location with facilities normally found in larger cities, but small-town prices and traffic make the Pittsburg area in Southeast Kansas an ideal location for many events.

Locals like to brag about how they are only a few hours away from Kansas City, Branson, Fayetteville, Tulsa, and Wichita for a quick day trip. They are also a long day's drive from the Rocky Mountains, the Appalachian Mountains, Canada, or Mexico. But that also means Pittsburg is in a prime location for national and regional events whose participants are spread across that same area.

And as the home of Pittsburg State University, this community has event spaces, performance venues, and sports facilities that only a college town can provide.
