About this happenin
Before it was the Ocoee Music Festival, this was Ocoee Founders' Day, a small-town birthday party that began in 1994 with walking tours and a chicken pilau lunch. It took the music name in 2020. These days it's two free days at Bill Breeze Park on Starke Lake, with national headliners closing each night and fireworks. A carnival, a car show, a Saturday morning 5K, a marketplace of more than 25 booths and more than 15 food trucks and food booths sit around the main stage. No ticket is needed, though a Preferred Seating area is sold to the public. Friday's music starts around 5:30 pm and builds to the headliner, while Saturday's local acts begin mid-afternoon. Chairs and blankets are welcome but can't be left unattended, and coolers aren't allowed. Pets stay home unless they're licensed service animals. The city has moved the dates between spring and fall, and it skipped a year when budgets tightened.
