Next Tuesday, July 4, America will celebrate Independence Day.

If you’re not traveling out of town or planning a barbeque at home, Fountain Park will be the place to be, with the annual Fourth at the Fountain event set to kick off at 7 p.m. There’s sure to be plenty of entertainment on hand to keep everyone partying until the sun goes down, including a live concert by the band, Rock Lobster, beginning at 7:30 p.m.

For those of you who plan to enjoy some fireworks, the show begins at 9 p.m.

As always, this event is free and open to the public, so everyone is encouraged to slap on some sunscreen, grab a blanket and head to the park for some holiday fun.
