The City of Kissimmee is inviting the community to come together and celebrate 143 years of history, heritage, and hometown pride at the annual Kowtown Festival on Saturday, March 21, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Lakefront Park.
The family-friendly celebration marks the City’s 143rd birthday and honors Kissimmee’s rich roots, western heritage, and vibrant community spirit. The festival will transform the scenic Lakefront Park into a lively gathering space filled with entertainment, activities, and birthday festivities for residents of all ages.
The event’s “Kowtown” theme pays tribute to Kissimmee’s longstanding agricultural and cattle traditions — a nod to the city’s historic identity that continues to shape its culture today. Attendees can expect a festive atmosphere complete with interactive experiences, entertainment, and a celebratory birthday vibe fitting for one of Central Florida’s most historic cities.
Located along the shores of Lake Tohopekaliga, Lakefront Park provides a picturesque backdrop for the afternoon celebration, offering plenty of open space for families to enjoy the festivities together.
City officials encourage residents and visitors alike to mark their calendars and join in honoring more than a century of growth, resilience, and community pride in Kissimmee.
