3rd Quarter Events (July – September)

Annual 4th of July Celebration 2026

Come and enjoy a classic small-town 4th of July celebration on Main Street. Start the day with a festive parade featuring horses, antique farm tractors, custom cars, marching bands, fire trucks, and plenty of special surprises along the way. After the parade, explore and shop at a variety of unique local stores spread across a charming five-block stretch of Main Street. Shop hours may vary, so be sure to check social media for the latest updates.

In the afternoon, head over to Bicentennial Park near the high school for a food truck rally. Enjoy a wide selection of delicious food while soaking up the festive atmosphere. Stay for an evening of live music by a popular band and a fireworks display at 10:00 PM. Bring your lawn chair and settle in for the night, and don’t miss the silent auction.
