Rosemount Leprechaun Days

Rosemount's annual festival begins on Friday, June 20th and runs through June 29th.  Leprechaun Days has existed in some form since the 1950s and has developed into a wonderful community event with many family-friendly activities.  The Leprechaun theme was chosen to honor the many original settlers of Rosemount that came from Ireland.

Highlights of the 10 day festival  include the Bluegrass Americana Festival in Central Park which includes a farmer's market, Rib Feast, bands, and children's entertainment, the Grand Day Parade and fireworks.  The Leprechaun's Lost Medallion Hunt begins July 23rd with the first clue at 9 AM and has a $500 cash prize.  There are also numerous tournaments such as whiffle ball, golf and basketball. Younger children will enjoy the puppet show, hula hoop contest, petting zoo, Trike, Big Wheel and Scooter Races and kiddie parade.  Here is a full calendar of events.

Rosemount Skate Park & BMX Park

Rosemount Skate Park has a permanent location at Schwarz Pond Park. The park has new grind boxes, grind rails, launch boxes, and quarter-and a half pipes for the skaters to show their talents. Some of the features are anchored down by their own weight while other ones, which are lighter, are secured by cement. Rules are posted at the park suggesting skaters to wear helmets, knee and elbow pads for their safety. Garbage receptacles are placed at the park with the hopes to keep the park clean. The park is open during regular hours of 6 am to 10 pm. The park is located at 13787 Dodd Boulevard with access to the park from Connemara Trail west of Highway 3.
