About SquadFest

Dive Bomb SquadFest is not just an event. It is an experience built for waterfowl hunters and their families. What began in 2021 as a simple opportunity for customers to connect and hang out with fellow hunters has now grown into a flagship celebration of the outdoor community.

The inaugural event at our original headquarters in Maryland Heights quickly outgrew its space, which led us to relocate to 370 Lakeside Park in St. Peters, Missouri, for year two. This allowed us to expand our layout, improve the attendee experience, and welcome an even larger crowd of passionate hunters.

Over the years SquadFest has evolved into a full-scale outdoor festival. Attendees now enjoy waterfowl and retriever seminars, a massive vendor fair, live country music, food trucks and refreshments, exciting giveaways, and countless opportunities to connect with the hunting community. The heart of the event remains the same. It is about spending time together, learning, laughing, and enjoying a shared passion for the outdoors.

As we head into year six at our state-of-the-art headquarters in Hazelwood, Missouri, we are more excited than ever. This year promises to deliver the biggest and best SquadFest experience yet.
