Join in a sing-a-long of patriotic music, led by DJ/Vocalist Janie Lee Kelley. Get your meals and treats from the Concrete Youth Sports Association’s Concession Stand. Thank you for supporting this important organization serving our local kids. Do some splashing in the water park, bike-riding on the new bike trails, and playing in the playground!
Happy FOURTH OF JULY!
DRESS HISTORICALLY!
On July 4th, 1776, the founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence and announced their independence from Great Britain. Every year, we celebrate that day, as well as the history of our town. We’d like to see parade entries that include a nod to Concrete’s history. For example, why not take a look into the past by visiting the Concrete Heritage Museum?! Maybe you’ll get creative and dress up or decorate a vehicle depicting an earlier era.
What we like best about this celebration is it’s low-key and laid back. Instead of sitting for several hours watching hundreds of parade entries, in Concrete, our parade is small, friendly, and features people you know.
Activities
New Bike Park!
