Rural Quiet Events Close-Knit Community Wooded

Resting along Interstate 70 between Warrenton and Wentzville, Wright City is quiet setting amongst the sprawling Missouri landscape. If you’re looking for a quiet locale that’s big on community and friendliness and low on crime and big-city troubles, Wright City is for you. There are a few local watering holes that keep locals entertained, but this is a laidback city where everyone knows your name. The annual Strassenbash festival brings locals together. This yearly German celebration features beer gardens, food, and dancing in the streets of the city.

I-70 will ferry you around this part of the state, or to one of the many conservation areas, state forest, and camp sites in the area.
