On Sunday evening we will honor this year's Patriot Award winner, and once the sun goes down, the fireworks will go up! Set to a one-of-a-kind musical score, the "world famous Zambelli Fireworks" will choreograph this year's fireworks, which will surely have an emotional impact on all.
The Fourth Of July Town Celebration Committee was founded in 1985 with the sole purpose
of providing an old fashioned family oriented weekend celebration. The
mission of the not-for-profit committee was then and still to this day, is to provide
all children's rides and games, activities, entertainment and fireworks for free.
We hope you take the time to visit us on the Town Green. Each year you can see some new and
different activities and there is always something happening, day or night! If you have any
questions or concerns please contact
one of our committee members. We are looking to make the celebration the best it can be!
All donations received and funds generated during the weekend are reinvested into the Celebration
and various charities. The Celebration Committee is made up of 21 all volunteer staff and supported
by over 200 weekend volunteers. Be a star and become a Celebration volunteer!
