Britt Hobo Days / National Hobo Convention

About

Held in Britt each August, the National Hobo Convention has run since 1900—a historic weekend celebrating America's migratory workers and freight-train culture. The festival draws hobos who set up a hobo jungle, sell crafts, and provide free entertainment alongside a parade, arts and crafts vendors, food vendors, and a classic car show. The highlight is the election of the King and Queen of the Hobos. Visitors also explore the Hobo Memorial Cemetery and National Hobo Museum.
