Get ready, Zephyrhills — the heartbeat of our hometown is about to turn up the volume!
Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 28, because Founders Day is rolling into downtown with the grooviest theme yet: “Rhythm in the Hillz”! This free, family-friendly bash runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Historic 5th Ave, and it’s packed with all the small-town magic you love.
The fun kicks off with the parade strutting down Main Street at noon — think colorful floats, marching bands, local groups, and plenty of hometown pride waving from every corner. Parade registration is NOW OPEN, so grab your spot and join the rhythm at https://www.mainstreetzephyrhillsevents.org/.
Once the parade wraps, the party keeps grooving all day long:
• Live music to keep your toes tapping and your spirit high
• A delicious Fish Fry hosted by The Quarters Foundation — fresh, hot, and oh-so-Florida!
• The show-stopping Classic Car Show courtesy of Ronnie Setser’s Car & Truck Show — shiny chrome, vintage vibes, and engines that purr
• Market vendors and local merchants selling unique finds, crafts, and goodies
• A Kid Zone bursting with balloons, games, and non-stop fun for the little ones
• And way more surprises throughout the day!
This is the ultimate celebration of what makes Zephyrhills special — our history, our community, and our unbeatable hometown spirit.
The search continues for some star players to make it even better:
• Local talent and performers to bring the “rhythm” to life
• Volunteers to help keep the good times rolling
• Event sponsors to shine bright
