• Extended Hours! This year’s event will be two hours longer, giving you even more time to enjoy the activities and celebrate with friends and neighbors!

• The Little Patriots Zone!
  We’ve created a special area just for our youngest guests. Children ages 5 and under can now enjoy the Little Patriots Zone featuring bounce houses, hands-on crafts, and fun activities designed just for little ones, along with seating nearby so parents can relax while their children play.

• Meet the Founding Fathers! Keep an eye out for Ben, George, and Alexander as they wander throughout the event! These historic figures will be available for fun photo opportunities and will also take the main stage to share a bit about themselves and the important roles they played in our nation’s history.

All the other activities you’ve enjoyed in past years will be back as well!

• Bounce Houses- With separate bounce zones for different age groups, everyone can jump, play, and have fun in a safe, age-appropriate environment.

• Carnival Games - Step right up and test your strength and skill with classic carnival games for all ages. Kids can win fun prizes and enjoy friendly competition all evening!

• Meet our local heroes! Stop by to chat with first responders, explore their emergency vehicles, and learn more about the important work they do in our community.

• Kids Crafts - Stop by the craft tents to choose from a range of fun, age-appropriate projects—then show off your masterpiece during the parade!

• Kids Parade - Designed for children 10 and under, this festive parade invites kids to decorate their tricycles, wagons, big wheels, or scooters.
