Support your favorite local non-profit organization
Many of the non-profit organizations in the area use this event as a major fund-raising opportunity. Much of their revenue for the year will come from this event.

Kids Area
One of the truly exciting parts of the Independence Day Festival is the Kids Area. The Kids Area is a safe and sane haven for parents and children of all ages. There is face-painting, several great enclosed bounces a variety of interactive games, and for the older kids (teens) there is the amazing Euro-jump™. (like an upside down bungee), and a Rock Climbing Wall. And everyone loves the antique Fire Truck!
