Celebrate Independence on July 3
The Historic Apalachicola Main Street program will sponsor the Second Annual Old Apalachicola Independence Day Celebration on July 3.The Red, White and Blue Parade begins at 6:30 p.m. at Lafayette Park and will wind its way down Avenue C, under the bridge at Battery Park and down Water Street to end at River Front Park. The parade will be followed by our traditional Ice Cream Social. Numerous other activities are planned throughout the evening.
The shrimp boat Lady Louise will act as a stage for live music. The Hillside Community Choir led by Pastor Solomon will provide stirring patriotic tunes on the docks. In addition, there will be an All American Kids’ Corner with many unique games and activities for the youngsters. The highlight of the evening begins at dark thirty (approximately 9:15 p.m.) when revelers will be treated to a professional fireworks display over the Apalachicola River.
Bill Grimes of Tallahassee has graciously donated his barge as a launch vehicle for the pyrotechnic extravaganza. This commitment along with the tremendous generosity of many residents, businesses and friends of Apalachicola has allowed Main Street to increase the fireworks display twofold over last year. Please take time to observe our sponsors board located in River Front Park. These are the wonderful people, along with many Main Street volunteers made our Independence Day celebration a reality.
We hope you can attend this red, white and blue celebration of freedom and democracy. For more information or to volunteer, call Jim Bachrach at 899-8689 or Harry Arnold at 524-0770.
Happy Independence Day Apalachicola!
