The Town Park Stage and tents are all set up and ready to go for tomorrow! We are looking forward to a FANTASTIC day!

Please check the Festival Facebook (www.facebook.com/rhhometownfestival) page for updates through the day tomorrow.

While we like to think of the Hometown Festival as a block party for the Round Hill community, and strongly encourage walking or biking to the events whenever possible, we know that some members of our community live a little too far away to do that, so we offer the following locations for general parking:

* Round Hill United Methodist Church (11 W. Loudoun Street)
* Round Hill Center (20 High Street)
* Round Hill Town Office (23 Main Street)
* NGSC (21 Main Street)
* Round Hill Elementary School (17115 Evening Star Drive)

We ask that you please respect signs regarding No Parking, Entertainer/Vendor Parking, Loading Zones, and Handicapped Only areas. We also ask that you do not park in local business lots (i.e. Savoir Fare, Dental Smiles) without permission from the owners.

Come to the Hometown Festival hungry — you won’t have to stay that way for long! We’ve got some great food options lined up all day long!

BREAKFAST

• Happy Waffle

LUNCH

• RHVFD Pig Roast (pulled-pork sandwiches)
• Tammy’s Diner (sausages, hot dogs on the grill)
• C’est Bon by Savoir Fare (Crawfish and andouille gumbo; mixed greens with strawberries, mandarins, goat cheese, almonds in honey poppyseed dressing; grilled chicken Caesar salad wrap with fruit and wild rice salad; grilled flank steak salad with bleu cheese and tomatoes; assorted desserts)

COMMUNITY FEAST IN THE TOWN PARK

We are excited to welcome the following performers to our Main and Youth stages, as well as Tammy’s Diner and C’est Bon!

The music begins at 10 a.m. and continues through the day on Saturday, culminating in our Evening Concerts in the Town Park, featuring Melissa Wright and Mink’s Miracle Medicine.

Come early and stay late! We’ll have the dance floor ready for you!

The Festival t-shirts are IN and are super cute!

Shirts will be available for purchase Monday-Friday at the Town Office (23 Main Street) during business hours (8:30 am to 4:30 pm) and on Saturday during the Festival at the Information Tent in front of the Town Park. They are $15 each.

Volunteers who register through the Sign-Up Genius page receive $5 off this year’s shirt, or a free “vintage” shirt (2023 or earlier). Sign up at: https://tinyurl.com/hometownfestival-volunteer

While this year’s event will include all the features local families have come to love, there are a few changes that the Festival Committee wants to point out. Specifically:

• NEW ROUTE FOR THE 5k: Instead of running through Hillwood Estates to the west of Main Street, the course will head east through Brentwood Springs at Cody Farm Drive and return to Main Street from Greenwood Drive.

• NEW TIME AND STAGING ROUTE FOR PARADE: The parade line up will begin at 9 a.m. and the parade will start at 10 a.m. It will follow the same route as years past; however, parade participants will be asked to enter the staging area on the west side of Evening Star Drive by using **Greenwood Avenue and Main Street** instead of passing Round Hill Elementary School.

Both of these changes were based on feedback we received after last year’s Festival. We hope that by altering the 5k route and parade line-up entry and delaying the beginning of the parade by a half-hour we will alleviate some of the conflicts in timing and traffic for these popular events for neighborhood residents and event participants alike.

We are SUPER excited to debut our new cornhole boards for 2025 and beyond! With artwork designed by Sweetgum Studios (sweetgumstudio.net), the boards celebrate 125 years of Round Hill landmarks!

The cornhole tournament takes place at 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 24, in the Round Hill Town Park. Thanks to the generous support of sponsors, McKinley’s Salon & Boutique/Metamorphosis Aesthetics & Wellness and Hunt Country Wildlife Control, which helped us purchase the boards, we are pleased to announce the tournament registration will remain FREE again this year.

This will be a double-elimination event in the Round Hill Town Park on Loudoun Street, from 3-5 p.m. Ages 12 and up, please. Preregistration will be limited to 12 teams; day-of registration will be available in the Town Park up to a total field of 16 teams.

Run by the Purcellville Cannons baseball team, prizes will include season passes, Cannons swag, and other prizes (and bragging rights, of course!)

Beer from Dirt Farm Brewery and wine from Williams Gap Vineyard for sale in the Town Park; food vendors will also be on site throughout the day. Music provided by DJ Stacks.

Stay for dinner provided by Two Smooth Dudes, Lady K’s Cafe, and the Roaming Coyote and music by Mink’s Miracle Medicine from 5:30-8 p.m.
