  • 4th of July – Celebrate America Across the State!

4th of July - Celebrate America Across the State!

By Carrie Lambert on June 26, 2013
Back

I love the 4th of July. Part of it is because my birthday is the fifth so there was always a parade, festival and of course fireworks near my birthday. It was a built-in party every year. As I grow older (and birthdays mean less and less) I love the fourth for celebrating America and enjoying a great summer tradition!

Looking for some fun this 4th of July? Here are events – all over the state – sure to provide an excellent holiday:

Northern Indiana:
