In 2008, the Rose Festival was pleased to bring on board the North American Strongman. This is an event open for the community to not only participate in, but come to watch. It's a competition of strength and endurance you won't want to miss!
The North American Strongman competition offers not only avid competitors from outside the area a chance to visit Jackson and compete, but local amateurs as well.
Join the event as a competitor!
