The free event is open to the public and will open on the main stage with opening remarks from newly-elected Mayor Sheila DeCiccio, followed by the National Anthem. The event will also feature music from the School of Rock Winter Park and a patriotic performance by the Bach Festival Choir and Brass Ensemble led by Dr. John Sinclair.
Activities will also feature a Kids Zone in West Meadow with carnival-inspired midway games, bounce slides, balloon artists, and more, hosted by the Parks and Recreation Department. The annual bicycle parade will begin at 9:30 a.m. Children can bring their bicycles already decorated or decorate them at the corner of Park and Morse avenues. The Electric Utility Department will sponsor FREE individual mini pies, cookies, and water (while supplies last).
In conjunction with city festivities, The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art will celebrate 29 years on Park Avenue with its own Independence Day Celebration. The museum, home to the world’s most comprehensive collection of work by American artist Louis Comfort Tiffany, will provide free admission to its galleries from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
