This Independence Day carries special meaning as we mark another milestone in our nation’s journey since its founding in 1776. The free admission concert at Festival Park on Saturday, July 4, offers more than just entertainment. It’s an opportunity for our community to come together and reflect on our shared history, the progress we’ve made, and the work that remains. The event begins at 7:30 p.m., with gates opening at 6 p.m., giving families and friends plenty of time to settle in and enjoy the evening together.

It’s an evening where neighbors become friends and where we can all appreciate the values that unite us…
