American Village Independence Day Celebration

Come share Independence Day with the Founding Fathers as American Village celebrates America’s 241st birthday. Admission is $5; active military members and veterans get in free. Gates open at noon, and there will be plenty of activities for the whole family.

Children can enjoy playing games from the colonial period, while the entire family can witness the “shot heard ’round the world” during a re-enactment of the Battle of Concord Bridge. 

Other events include a salute to military veterans, meetings with past patriots such as Thomas Jefferson and Abigail Adams, and a fireworks show at 9 p.m. to end the night. Families are encouraged to bring blankets to watch the fireworks. There will be a dozen food options onsite.
