Petting Zoo

A little animal magic for festival day.

Pony Tails Petting Zoo is planned as a featured family stop with gentle animal encounters, soft hay underfoot, and the kind of quiet first hello that kids remember.

Bunnies, goats, turtles, and close-up moments The first photo set gives the section its direction: warm, gentle, hands-on, and real.
A calmer stop between the bigger festival energy Families can move from food, games, shopping, and music into a softer animal area.
Final timing will publish with the event map Exact hours, placement, capacity notes, and any handling rules will be added after they are approved.

Market Business Participation

Bring your booth to the Watermelon Festival planning roster.

The festival is planning for 40-60 market businesses across food, drinks, gifts, music, outdoor products, family activity, and general market booths. Watermelon-themed specials are encouraged. Special event applications use a lighter review path for category fit, permits, insurance where applicable, setup needs, and public listing permission.

This event path is separate from the Village Open-Air Market application. A special event approval does not unlock regular Sunday market booking.
