Our Town America History

The first OurTownAmerica festival was held in 1979. 
Originally the OurTownAmerica event was sponsored by the
Coral Springs Chamber of Commerce.  

In 1997, a group of non-profit organizations and private individuals banded together
to reorganize the event and established OurTownAmerica, Inc.,
a not for profit 501(c) 3 organization whose board has put on the event ever since.

With the reorganization in 1997, a program of giving back to the community with the OurTownAmerica proceeds was established. Non-Profit organizations involved with the festival receive funding from the proceeds for their various worthwhile charities.

 Though the weekend event is known for its amusements, classic car show,
the “Miss OurTownAmerica Beauty Pageant and booths,
this very important purpose of giving back to the community has made
the event very meaningful for the community.

As OurTownAmerica,Inc. Board Chairman Ernie Kubasek states,
“OurTownAmerica has one mission in mind – to provide a quality
family event for our tri-county community while providing financial
assistance to needy non-profit organizations.”
