Celebrate
4th of July in Independence!
Posted 3 July 2008
Be a part of the biggest parade in Northeast Iowa celebrating our
Independence! Parade begins at City Hall at 9 a.m.! The theme for 2008
is Extreme Makeover - Independence Edition!
The, after the parade, carry your lawn chair just a few short blocks to
Riverwalk Parks for a full-day of music, food and fun and ending with
an amazing fireworks display high above the Wapsipinicon River and it
is FREE entry to the park.
Independence’s 4th of July Celebration has a reputation for outstanding
musical performances. Throughout the day, one talented musical group
after another will take the stage. From concert bands to blues and jazz
there’s something for everyone—all day in the Riverwalk Parks.
Budweiser Coed Sand Volleyball Tournament - Get your team together now
for the Budweiser Coed Sand Volleyball Tournament. Teams compete for
the right to be called “Kings of the Sand” by the “King of Beers” and
the right to take away cash, Budweiser trophy and championship Bud
volleyball. Spots are limited. Contact the chamber for additional
information.
The FunZone - Of course there’s plenty to do for the kids too,
attractions, games, and tattoos.
The Food - What’s a Fourth of July celebration without great
All-American Food! Food vendors will be on hand to take care of any
appetite. Pop, bottled water and other cold draft beverages are also
available on the grounds.
The Fireworks - You cannot find better fireworks, no where, no how,
than the highlight of each Independence Day Celebration high above the
Wapsipinicon River. This stunning display is not a secret. The
community draws crowds from across the Midwest, East and West Coast and
from around the world. People schedule their 4th of July vacation
around the Independence celebration!
