July 4th Festivities - What does your town have planned?

Got into it with Wifey because her town of Wethersfield, CT has nothing, ZERO, planned for the Holiday.

Meanwhile, my little home town of Simsbury, CT has the - Talcott Mountain Festival - Celebrate America - Performing Arts Center at Simsbury Meadows followed by Willie Nelson & Family in concert before the Fireworks begin.

How the He11 can a Town, any Town, in this USA have NOTHING planned? 

So, I'm interested... Is your town providing some sort of festivities or are they offering NOTHING.

Here in Northern NJ, many towns have fireworks,some are free to attend, some are not.  Always a good show if you're into that, people in this area can aloso go to Hoboken and watch the fireworks in NYC....

I apologize.  Willie Nelson is coming to Simsbury on August 22.  Somebody else is playing on July 4th but at least it's live entertainment.

Maybe the people of Oniontown are afraid that a Independence Day celebration would bring out all the witches again...

Fireworks and a concert in my tiny town of Big Sky, MT.  Plus, there are activities all day long for the kids and a 5k run for everyone.  We have a large park area and everything takes place around there.  Lots of touristos so the town swells up.

Maybe wife's town is next to larger ones with big events going on..My town is same situation but will have a reading at the state Park of the DOI early am.(Estero home of the original Koreshans in 1894 Think Waco TX if unfamiliar).Lot's of other things going on minutes away all day and night.

I work anyway cooking for seniors but it's cool.Bloody Mary's and they get thier buzz and listen to some music and have some cookout style food..Greatest Generation folks inc a USS Indy Survivor..Paying my dues as a baby boomer every holiday.

The GoldenOne, do you think that Willie Nelson will be singing his "Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly (Fond of Each Other)."in August ?

Here I just hop on the beach cruiser, glide down the bike path and pretty much everything you're looking for is going on...

4th in Southern California.

Doubletalk.......

It appears my town can afford fireworks this year.......

Not many people know how expensive the shows really are. I think every sky burst that shoots out of the tube is around 500-to 2k I'm pretty sure.

Disneyland has a show every night.

 

You might want to rethink attending that 4th of July celebration ..for two reasons

1.) Federal authorities have warned local law enforcement officials across the country about a heightened concern involving possible terror attacks targeting the July 4th holiday..

2.)  Harvard has released a study that say's Fourth of July celebrations tend to turn people into Republicans and help advance the GOP in elections.

Live in RICHARSON,TX and our "city" has a massive expensive fireworks show out at Breckenridge Park..been doing it all 25 years I lived here..don't always go...but...even one better is our neighborhood Annual 4th of July parade...goes up and down like 4 blocks and anybody can parade....Folks in golf carts, wagons, dressed up doggies AND kiddos...very patriotic..pretty entertaining event many families participate in....

Went to Willies 4th of July picnic first summer I lived in Texas 86' i think..at Carl's Corner....recall a big biker crowd... Willie at FARM AID was much funner,,,Neil Young on the card  didn't hurt with all that farmer "smoke" surrounding us.....Never to this day do I ever recall seeing so much weed at ANY concert...ever..At TEXAS Stadium no less

GG, have a fun,safe and HAPPY 4th...God Bless America
