Held at Yeonas Park (where the little league fields are) on Friday, July 1 at 8 p.m. The event will have live music, games, food and drinks, and the fireworks start at dark. The United States Navy Concert Band will play before the 20 minute fireworks show. Bring blanks and lawn chairs, but remember chairs are not permitted on the baseball fields (there are bleachers and a paved path for chairs).
*Note: this event is loud if you have a sensory sensitive child.
