Milton Roundup Celebrates Six Years on Saturday

Happy Birthday, City of Milton! The party starts at noon on Saturday, Oct. 20, at Birmingham United Methodist Church and everybody is invited to the sixth annual Milton Roundup.

For six hours – yes, one hour for every year the city has existed – the community can enjoy an activities tent for kids, live performances by musicians and others, a rock wall, moonwalk, bungee station and the signature mechanical bull. All of those activities are free, as are admission and parking, said Miltno Communications Manager Jason Wright in his press releases about the event.

But bring a little cash so you don't miss out on the food and other activities, such as helicopter rides, petting zoon and pony carousel.

The first 250 entrants even get a free T-shirt, available at the main information tent. Supplies are expected to go fast, according to the Milton Roundup webpage.

Unlike many festivals, the Milton Roundup is all about the city. Vendor booths are limited to non-profits, fun activities and the necessities, such as food. Expect to learn about different activities and departments in the city, and a little history.

 "The Roundup is one of my favorite events all year," said Milton Mayor Joe Lockwood. "I've enjoyed watching it grow and seeing the sense of community and excitement our visitors bring to it every year."
