There is something for everyone throughout the day including the Village Library Book Sale,Children & Teen Games, Chicken Barbeque, Day & Evening Musical Entertainment, Cake Walk, Face Painting,Blood Pressure Screenings and more. The celebration will kick off with our annual children’s parade beginning by Salem UCC featuring patriotic decorated bikes, non-motorized scooters, and wagons followed by an opening ceremony honoring our military at the Park's flag pole. This all leads up to a spectacular fireworks display at dusk.
