The first OurTownAmerica festival was held in 1979. Originally the OurTownAmerica event was sponsored by the Coral Springs Chamber of Commerce. Though the weekend event is known for its amusements, classic car show, the Our Town's Got Talent show, and booths, this very important purpose of giving back to the community has made the event very meaningful for the community.  The event is "An exciting three-day family festival featuring Coral Springs at its best!"
