Watch first responders engage in a series of athletic competitions during the Hero Games! With traditional contests such as the obstacle course, contests relating to their occupation like the “stretcher carry”, and fun contests like the donut eating contest, you’re sure to get caught up in the competitive spirit as you cheer on your favorite.

Browse the art vendors at the Festival for a beautiful piece of artwork to bring home, or marvel at the chalk art gallery where people make stunning temporary images in the street. If you’re hoping for something more active, hit the Kayak Pool.
And of course, there will be music. This year, the headlining act is no other than the Spin Doctors, known for their songs “Two Princes” and “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong”. It’s sure to be an amazing show!
