Introducing Cornhole Tournament Sponsorships! Our cornhole tournament is here to stay and, as a result, we are purchasing four sets of boards to use this year and moving forward. To offset this expense, we are looking for sponsors for our tournament. Choose between a standard sign for $250 or a larger premium sign for $500. This sponsorship is not listed on our flier, so for information or to sign up, see our Sponsorships Page or email info@hometownfestival.org.

A successful Hometown Festival takes many hands to help the event run smoothly. Volunteer roles range from closing intersections for the 5k and parade to helping break down the park after the evening concert. If you can spare an hour or two during the day on Saturday, May 24, please consider signing up for a shift (or two!). As a thank you, volunteers are eligible for $5 off this year’s Hometown Festival T-shirt or can chose a free pre-2024 shirt from our “vintage” collection.

The 21st Annual Hometown Festival 5K kicks off at 8 a.m. on Saturday, May 24, 2025. The race welcomes runners of all ages and is run rain-or-shine. The race begins and ends at Round Hill Elementary School.

Register online here through Monday, May 19. The fee is $32 for adults and $25 for youth under 18. Groups of 20 or more may receive a discounted fee of $27 for adults and $22 for youth under 18 if registered prior to May 7. Please register your group with Tom Duggan at roundhill5k@gmail.com.

Online registration closes at 5 p.m. on Monday, May 19. Race day registration begins at 7:00 a.m. at Round Hill Elementary School. The race-day fee is $38/racer for all ages.

Trophies will be awarded to the first overall male and female finishers in the 5K. Medals will be awarded to the top two male and female finishers in each of the following age group classes: 9 and under, 10-12, 13–17, 18–29, 30–39, 40–49, 50–59, and over 60.

The Kids 1/2-mile Fun Run will be held on the elementary school track immediately following the conclusion of the 5K, typically about 9:15 a.m. No registration needed. Participants in the Fun Run will receive ribbons.

The Hometown Festival parade is one of the highlights of spring in Round Hill!

This year the parade will kickoff at 10 a.m. — that’s a little later than last year and has been changed to give more buffer time between the 5k and the parade lineup, which will begin at 9 a.m.

The parade route starts in Mountain Valley and heads south through Hillwood Estates before turning on to Main Street and ending on East Loudoun Street in front of the Town Park, where spectators and participants are encouraged to stay for the Memorial Ceremony that follows the parade as well as a full day of free family-friendly fun!

Local businesses and organizations are invited to participate! Register online at https://tinyurl.com/RHParade2025.

Calling all elementary school artists in the 20141! Submit your artwork for this year’s Hometown Festival T-shirt and have a chance not only to have your design featured on our Festival shirts, but also to ride in a Round Hill Volunteer Fire and Rescue truck in this year’s Festival parade!

Details of how to submit your artwork can be found here! All artwork is due to either Mrs. Fink at Round Hill Elementary School or to the Round Hill Town Office by Thursday, April 4.

This year we are celebrating Round Hill’s 125th birthday, so designs may incorporate that theme and/or our traditional patriotic themes. Please limit designs to no more than three colors and use markers (not crayons) since they reproduce better.

Good luck! We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
