Save the date for the annual festival
A growing tradition in the charming village of Odessa, this FREE annual celebration brings together neighbors and newcomers for a day of live music, vendors, and family fun. It’s grassroots community pride at its best!
Visitors can enjoy a wide variety of activities for all ages, including:
- Free Children’s Activities: Kids can get creative with face painting, enjoy interactive games, and take home balloon creations.
- Touch-a-Truck Experience: Families are invited to explore local community vehicles such as fire trucks, ambulances, and more. It’s a fun and educational experience for children to see these vehicles up close.
- Craft, Nonprofit & Food Vendors: Browse unique items from local artisans, learn about important nonprofit organizations in our area, and enjoy delicious food from local vendors.
This annual event is completely free to attend, with ample parking nearby. Whether you’re looking to shop, play, or simply soak in the lively atmosphere, Odessa Community Day offers something for everyone.
