If you’re visiting, you’ll want to make the most of these vibrant happenings. Let’s explore some of the best local events and festivals in Kissimmee that you can enjoy with a rental car from SunShine Car Rental Orlando.

First up, we’ve got the Kissimmee Kowtown Festival, held annually in the heart of downtown Kissimmee. This festival celebrates the city’s rich history and community spirit. Expect a day full of live music, delicious food vendors, and fun activities for the whole family. There’s even a classic car show featuring some beautifully restored vehicles. Driving to the festival in a rental car makes it easy to bring along chairs, coolers, and anything else you might need for a full day of festivities.

If you’re a foodie, the Kissimmee Main Street Food Truck Rodeo is a must-visit. This event happens monthly and brings together some of the best food trucks from around Central Florida. From gourmet burgers to exotic fusion dishes, there’s something for everyone. The event is held at Kissimmee Lakefront Park, and with ample parking available, your rental car will get you there hassle-free. It’s the perfect spot to try out different cuisines and enjoy a picnic by the lake.

For a taste of the arts, check out the Osceola Arts' Annual Art Festival. Held every spring, this festival showcases the work of local artists in a variety of mediums, including painting, sculpture, and photography. It’s a great place to pick up unique souvenirs and support the local arts scene. The festival is easily accessible by car, and there’s plenty of parking nearby, making it a convenient outing.

And for those who love a bit of culture, the Viva Osceola Hispanic Festival is a lively celebration of Hispanic heritage.

With your rental car, you can easily get to the event and even bring along some friends to share the experience.

One of the biggest events in the area is the Silver Spurs Rodeo. Known as the largest rodeo east of the Mississippi, this event takes place several times a year and draws huge crowds. From bull riding to barrel racing, it’s an adrenaline-packed spectacle that’s not to be missed. The rodeo grounds are just a short drive from downtown Kissimmee, and having a rental car makes it easy to get there and back without any fuss.
