Bring your own picnic basket and just relax on the grass listening to live music, or enjoy some of the food from several local nonprofit organizations. It is a great way to celebrate the holiday with family and friends in a relaxing community social event.

Decorate your bikes, trikes, baby carriages and wagons in red, white and blue and celebrate the holiday. The parade route is from the Armory through the tree lined alley of the park to the flagpole.
