Hempstead Watermelon Festival

The Hempstead Watermelon Festival is two days of festivities in honor of the crop that made our town famous! Join us July 19-20, 2024 for a family-friendly event that's got something for absolutely everyone. It's toe-tappin' entertainment and awesome eats. It's antique cars and old-time parades. It's can't-miss shopping, games for the kiddos and all sorts of other fun to boot.
