Oldsmar 2017 Calendar of Events

The City of Oldsmar’s yearlong centennial celebration might be over, but there are plenty of fun and exciting activities scheduled in 2017.

The City of Oldsmar celebrated its 100th birthday in 2016 by hosting several special, centennial-themed events, including dinner dances and concerts, parades and a time capsule-closing ceremony.

The new year might not have as many spectacular events like the legends of rock concert at Tampa Bay Downs, but a look at the city’s 2017 event calendar shows there could be a few that come close to matching the pomp and pageantry of those centennial celebrations.

In addition to annual staples such as Oldsmar Days and Nights, Celebrate Oldsmar!, Top o’ the Bay Oktoberfest and the immensely popular Christmas Wonderland, 2017 will see the return of the Gator Nationals Supercross Series to the city’s world class BMX track in February; the always touching Veterans Day and Memorial Day ceremonies; and the Summer Festival of Racing and Music on July 1 at Tampa Bay Downs, which promises to be an action-packed day full of horse racing and raucous music courtesy of the Black Honkeys and Soul Circus Cowboys.

Here’s a look at the complete Oldsmar 2017 Calendar of Events, courtesy of the city’s website. For more information on Oldsmar events, call 813-749-1100.
