One of the largest and most anticipated events in Western Broward County, the annual Rick Case's President's Fest In The Park, is back for its 16th year.

Rick Case's Presidents' Fest In The Park was established in 1993 by a small group of Weston residents who wanted to develop a family oriented community celebration for area families to enjoy. Since that time, the event has grown to one of West Broward's most anticipated events. This year, the event is again undergoing a large expansion highlighted by the return of one of the oldest and largest carnival companies in the country.

Thanks to the generous support of our corporate sponsors, 1,500 foster and disadvantaged children will be treated to lunch and unlimited free rides compliments of Reithoffer Shows. Plus, there is no admission charge to the festival or to any of the shows. All the proceeds from the event will go to charity including: West Broward YMCA, JAFCO, Florida's Children First, Cypress Bay Girls' Softball Team, Weston Rotary Club's Scholarship Fund, Broward County Boys and Girls Club, Gilda's Club and Sun-Sentinel Children's Fund.

• High Voltage Extreme Entertainment, lead by Al "Fliprock" Fuentes, comes to Presidents' Fest from Central Florida. This unique street group of acrobats, b-boys, gymnasts, and entertainers create a high energy, extreme acrobatics show, which for the past four years has appeared at Universal Studios in Orlando.
• Sandsational Sand Sculpting, a world renowned professional sand sculpting company known for their life-like figures and meticulous detail will be constructing the most amazing sand sculpture throughout the weekend..
• Zambelli Fireworks Internationale, who has produced displays for many past presidents including Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush and Clinton, will present two fireworks shows on Saturday and Sunday nights at 9:30 p.m. Zambelli Fireworks Internationale promises to light up Markham Park to a patriotic musical score guaranteed to bring thrills and chills to young and old alike.
• Superstar Productions, a renowned group of special events performers, will present its Tributes to the High School Musical, Scoobi and many more of your children's favorites!
• Victoria Circus returns to Presidents' Fest for a second year. The Sensational Murcias Highwire consists of three acrobats performing death-defying feats at over 30 feet in the air. Marvel at the three-person pyramid formed atop a bicycle. Hold your breath as one of the troupe attempts to skip rope and actually jump over the shoulders of his beautiful partner.

The lovely and daring Victoria will dazzle kids and adults alike as she performs various contortion and aerial acrobatics twenty five feet in the air on the Olympic Roman Rings.Victoria Circus is proud to have two of South America's best clowns, Moyette and Joselo touring with the circus. The clowns will keep their audience laughing as they try to make the best of all their unfortunate and awkward situations.

• The Victory Riders will perform motorcycle stunts inside the "Globe of Death" racing at speeds up to 40 miles per hour! They weave different patterns sideways and completely upside down all within inches of each other. The highlight of the act is the entry of a third lady daredevil who enters the globe and stands in the center of the globe while the motorcycles speed around her coming within inches of her body and actually touching her hands.
• Reithoffer Shows, directed by P.E. Reithoffer, Jr. and operated by his sons Pat and Rick, is the innovator when it comes to magnificent rides and attractions. New rides that Reithoffer Shows will bring to President's Fest include: the largest traveling Ferris Wheel in the world, Inverter, Tornado, Twister, Flying Bobs, Sizzler, Orbiter, Pharaoh's Fury and largest kiddy land the Fest has ever had!
• Rick Hubbard and His Kazoobie Band, nationally known for his high-energy, motivational shows. Children and their parents actively participate in the show, which climaxes with each member of the audience receiving a free kazoo, which they will play in the grand finale as members of the "World Famous Kazoobie Band."

Rick Case's Presidents' Fest In The Park is proud and excited to partner with the City of Weston and the Weston University program to provide each of the 21 students with one-day trip to Tallahassee. Weston University was created to provide a unique educational and personal experience for high school students through open communication with government officials and city departments. Students effectively participate in the City Commission simulation after having gained knowledge throughout the program, in order to present and defend both sides of the agenda issues. In Tallahassee, the students will see the legislature in action, meet cabinet officers, and hopefully, the Governor.
