The city-owned Menahga Memorial Forest Park and Campground is located along south U.S. Hwy. 71. Its 40 acres are filled with stately pines, beautiful birch and hardwood trees. A newly created, 12-hole disc golf course is at the campground.
MENAHGA MIDSUMMER Organized by the Menahga Civic and Commerce, the Menahga Midsummer Celebration in July offers kids’ events, music, a grand parade and fireworks. The parade is renowned for its many entries – from pageant royalty and marching bands to Shriner Club’s go-carts and Scottish bagpipers.
ST. URHO DAYS Menahga celebrates its Finnish heritage with St. Urho Days every March. The legend of St. Urho says he chased the grasshoppers out of ancient Finland, thus saving the grape crop and the jobs of Finnish vineyard workers. His feast is celebrated by wearing the colors royal purple and Nile green.
